Daegu International Airport (Hangul: 대구국제공항; Hanja: 大邱國際空港; Revised Romanization: Daegu Gukje Gonghang; McCune-Reischauer: Taegu Kukche Konghang) (IATA: TAE, ICAO: RKTN) is the international airport serving the city of Daegu and the surrounding area in the southeast of South Korea. The airport is also a military base for the ROKAF's 11th Fighter Wing, whose three squadrons fly the F-15K.

Overview

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.

History

Daegu International Airport was originally established under Japanese rule as Taegu Airfield on 31 January 1937.[2]

Korean War

At the outbreak of the Korean War, the airfield consisted of a dirt and gravel runway and two concrete buildings.[3] The airfield was designated by the USAF as K-2.

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.[3]: 89–90  On July 10, 1950, the Bout One force was re-designated as the 51st Fighter Squadron,[3]: 95  and was merged into the 12th Fighter-Bomber Squadron on August 4.[3]: 112 

The existing dirt and gravel runway was improved by the 822nd Engineer Aviation Battalion beginning on July 18, and the Battalion subsequently began preparations for a parallel 5,000 foot (1,500 m) PSP runway on August 7.[3]: 110 

USAF units based at Taegu from July–August 1950 included:

Taegu Airfield was abandoned following the North Korean attack on Taegu in mid-August 1950, but USAF units began reoccupying the base by September 23, 1950.[3]: 176  The 822nd Battalion had returned to Taegu on September 17 and soon resurfaced the original dirt and gravel runway with PSP and extended its length to 5,700 feet (1,700 m).[3]: 177 

USAF units based at Taegu from September 1950 included:[3]: 177 

In May 1951, the 930th Engineer Aviation Group began repair work on the PSP runway and commenced construction of a 9,000 feet (2,700 m) concrete runway.[3]: 395

Passenger facilities

Daegu Airport interior

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 Seon 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.[4]
