Kyongsong Chuul Airport was a military airport in Kyongsong-gun, Hamgyong-bukto, North Korea. It was subordinate to the 8th Air Transport Division and was home to an officer training school.[1]
Facilities
Prior to demolition, the airfield had a single asphalt runway 13/31 measuring 3500 x 200 feet (1067 x 61 m).[2][3]
It was sited on the east coast of North Korea, a few miles north of the Orang Airport and south of the city of Chongjin.
Current usage
Google Earth imagery from 2018 shows the airport is undergoing complete reconstruction.[1]
The airport was demolished and became the Jungphyong Vegetable Greenhouse Farm and Tree Nursery in 2019.[4]
