Gimpo International Airport

Gimpo International Airport is about 15 km west of central Seoul, in Gangseo-gu. A taxi to Myeongdong usually takes about 40 to 50 minutes, longer at rush hour. By rail, the AREX reaches Seoul Station in about 20 to 23 minutes, and Line 9 express trains reach the Express Bus Terminal in Gangnam in about 27 to 32 minutes.

Gimpo (GMP) is Seoul's city airport, about 15 km west of the center, and handles most domestic flights plus short routes to Japan, China and Taiwan. Incheon (ICN) is Seoul's main international airport, on Yeongjong Island in Incheon, and handles long-haul flights. Check your ticket for the code, since the two airports are far apart.

The AREX airport railroad runs from Gimpo Airport Station to Incheon Airport in about 38 to 48 minutes, depending on the terminal. The KAL Limousine 6707A bus takes about 40 to 60 minutes, and a taxi about 30 to 60 minutes depending on traffic. Leave plenty of time if you are connecting to an international flight.

Gimpo has two passenger terminals. The Domestic Terminal handles flights within South Korea, such as Jeju and Busan, and the International Terminal handles flights to Japan, China and Taiwan. A free shuttle bus links them, and the walk between them takes about 10 minutes, with Gimpo Airport Station in between.

Korean Air and Asiana Airlines use Gimpo for domestic and short international flights. Jeju Air, Jin Air, Air Busan, T'way Air, Eastar Jet, Air Seoul and SUM Air fly domestic routes. Foreign airlines include JAL, ANA, Peach, Air China, China Eastern, China Southern, Shanghai Airlines, EVA Air, China Airlines and Tigerair Taiwan.

International flights from Gimpo go to Tokyo Haneda, Osaka Kansai, Nagoya, Shanghai Hongqiao, Beijing Capital, Beijing Daxing, Taipei Songshan and Kaohsiung. They all use the International Terminal. Long-haul flights to Europe, the Americas and Southeast Asia leave from Incheon International Airport instead.

It depends on your nationality. Visa-exempt travelers need a K-ETA approved before departure unless their country is on Korea's temporary exemption list, which runs through 31 December 2026 and includes the United States, the UK, Japan, Canada, Australia, France and Germany. Travelers without a K-ETA complete the electronic arrival card before landing.
