Suwon Airport (RKSW) is a large military airfield south of Seoul in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, with three long parallel runway pairs and no scheduled civil airline service. It is primarily a joint Republic of Korea Air Force and United States Air Force facility, and its frequency set reflects an active military flying operation rather than a civil aerodrome.
Suwon Airport, also known as Suwon Air Base, is a military airfield near the city of Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It has no scheduled airline service and is used by the Republic of Korea Air Force alongside a United States Air Force presence, evident from the dedicated command post and operations frequencies associated with the base. For a simulator pilot the field is notable chiefly for its unusually generous runway lengths and its role as an active military installation rather than as a general aviation destination.
The airfield lies at Suwon in Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, at coordinates 37.2389N, 127.006E and an elevation of 75 feet. No further detail on the surrounding airspace classification or FIR boundaries is available from the sources used here.
Suwon has three physical runways, each a substantial hard-surfaced, lit strip. The main pair, 15L/33R, is 8,964 feet long. A parallel pair, 15R/33L, is 8,958 feet long. A third runway, 16/34, is 8,374 to 8,376 feet long. There is no ILS approach recorded for the field.
Suwon's published frequencies include Approach/Departure (OSAN APP/DEP) on 127.9 MHz, an ATIS on 126.425 MHz, a Ground Controlled Approach (GCA) facility on 34.655 MHz, Ground on 27.58 MHz, and Tower on 126.2 MHz. Operations traffic for the 25th Tactical Fighter Squadron is worked on 22.9 MHz, the same frequency also used by the USAF Suwon command post (POST), while a further PMSV/METRO frequency operates on 34.65 MHz. There is also an ACP frequency, BRICKWALL, on 120 MHz. These figures should be treated as indicative of an active military communications setup rather than a civil VFR/IFR service.
Suwon continues to operate as a military airfield with no scheduled airline service, hosting Republic of Korea Air Force units alongside a United States Air Force presence, reflected in its dedicated command post and squadron operations frequencies. As a military installation it is not a general aviation field open to casual civil traffic.
