Only one parking position is large enough for a Boeing 737-900. The airport has a daily scheduled flight two times, currently operated by Jin Air to Jeju.
Because Wonju Airport is sharing with military, taking photograph or video of apron, runway and military facility is strictly prohibited.
Wonju Airport's passenger terminal is 1.5 km from the airport runway, requiring passengers to take a shuttle (about 20 minutes) to their aircraft.[2]
