Airlines

Korea is served by two international airlines: Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. Both provide frequent domestic service and operate extensive international networks. There are also two small domestic airliners (Hansung Airlines and Jeju Air) that offer domestic service with much lower fares, but typically only running between major airports.

International Airports

There are five international airports. In Seoul there are two, Incheon (ICN) and Gimpo (GMP). Both provide international and domestic service, but Incheon is the airport most foreigners fly into. It is about a two hour drive outside of Seoul, and there is regular bus service between the terminal and the Seoul city centre. Gimpo is a little closer and can be reached by a Seoul subway line.

Outside of Seoul, the international airports include Gimhae (PUS) in Busan, Jeju (CJU), Cheongju (CJJ) and Yangyang (YNY). Of these, Gimhae is by far the biggest. Jeju is also important because it is the only international airport on Jeju Island. It’s the only airport you will fly into if you want to vacation there.

Once you have acquired an English teaching job in Korea you will need to determine which airport and airline would be most convenient to use.

Domestic Airports

If you find an English teaching job in rural Korea, you can use entirely domestic airports such as Wonju, Gunsan, Pohang, Ulsan, Sacheon, Yeosu and Mokpo.
