Traveler highlights

Gimpo Airport, in Seoul’s Gangseo district, is one of the city’s two main airports and serves domestic and some international flights. Built by the Japanese military for military use, it began construction in 1939 and opened in 1942. After the Korean War armistice, Seoul’s capital-airport role shifted here from Yeouido, and Gimpo officially opened as the airport in 1958. Former international and domestic terminals were later repurposed as domestic facilities and a shopping mall, reflecting changing aviation needs. Today it connects Seoul with Japan, Taiwan and China and with the rail network.
