<h2 class="blog-hed2 pb-lg-4 pb-3 text-lg-center">Overview Daegu International Airport</h2>
<p class="blog-para">The airport chiefly serves domestic routes with a small number of international flights. Despite the growth of the nearby city of Daegu, passenger numbers at Daegu International Airport have been steadily declining since 2004, the year when KTX highspeed rail reached the city. The 2013 number of about 1.1 million passengers is around half of pre-2003 figures. Since in 2014, passenger numbers have increased sharply due to the expansion of Low-Cost Carriers. Because Daegu Airport is sharing with military, taking photograph or video of apron, runway and military facility is strictly prohibited.</p>

<p class="fs-6 lh-lg wow fadeInUp">Daegu International Airport was originally established under Japanese rule as Taegu Airfield on 31 January 1937.</p>
<p class="blog-para"><strong>Korean War:</strong> At the outbreak of the Korean War, the airfield consisted of a dirt and gravel runway and two concrete buildings. The airfield was designated by the USAF as K-2.</p>
<p class="blog-para">The airfield was used as part of the Bout One project, an emergency program to train Republic of Korea Air Force pilots to fly the F-51 Mustang. The Bout One planes provided close air support to the U.S. 24th Infantry Division through July 1950.: 89&ndash;90 On 10 July 1950, the Bout One force was re-designated as the 51st Fighter Squadron, 95 and was merged into the 12th Fighter-Bomber Squadron on 4 August.</p>

<p class="blog-para">The relatively small passenger terminal boasts a comfortable environment through its adoption of traditional design elements symbolizing Ouga (The song of five friend: water, rock, pine, bamboo, and moon; by Yun Se on Do), and its crane-like structure. The parking lot can accommodate about 1,097 cars and has a fully automated parking system; it opens from 6 am to 10 pm.</p>
