It opened as a military airbase in September 1978, and in 1984, international airport construction began. The construction was completed in December 1996, and it was opened as Cheongju International Airport on April 28, 1997. During the mid-80's, Cheongju was selected as a possible site for Korea's main international airport before Incheon became the preferred location.</p>
<p class="blog-para">It can process 1.23 million people from domestic flights and 1.15 million people from international flights annually, and the parking lots can hold 770 vehicles. In addition, airplanes can operate 196,000 times a year. There used to be flights to Busan and Saipan, but they were stopped due to low ridership. Currently, there are domestic flights to Jeju and international flights to China, Japan, Taiwan, and Thailand. Because Cheongju Airport is sharing with military, taking photograph or video of apron, runway and military facility is strictly prohibited.</p>
