- Incheon International Airport
 

Incheon International Airport, the largest airport in Korea, is also one of the largest in Asia. The airport opened in early 2001 and is now the center for Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. The international airport was established to take over the international functions of the Gimpo Airport (formerly Kimpo International Airport). Today Gimpo Airport offers flights to Haneda Airport in Tokyo, but mostly runs domestic flights. Incheon International Airport plays a pivotal role in international civilian air transportation and cargo traffic. In preparation for terrorist attacks and epidemics that may break out in Asia, airport security facilities and medical inspection equipments are highly advanced. In this regard, the airport is lauded as the most technologically facilitated airport in Asia. It ranks sixth among the busiest airports in Asia following Tokyo International Airport (Haneda Airport, Tokyo), Bangkok International Airport (Bangkok), Narita International Airport (Tokyo), Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong), and Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore).

- Gimpo Airport
 

Gimpo Airport (formerly Kimpo International Airport) used to be the primary international airport for Korea before it was replaced by Incheon International Airport in 2001. It is now the second largest airport in Korea.

In 1951, the U.S. forces built a runway during the Korean War, which later grew to become Gimpo Airport. Today the airport handles 226,000 flights annually. There are two runways (3600 m��45 m & 3200 m��60 m), two passenger terminals, and one cargo terminal.

The airport is situated in the south of the Han River in western Seoul. (The name "Gimpo" comes from the nearby city of Gimpo.) In the 1990s, Line 5 of the Seoul Subway was extended to provide transportation between the airport and the downtown Seoul. There are also buses that operate daily to connect the airport with the capital city.

Future plans include Seoul Subway Line 9 to Banpo, and a rail link to Incheon International Airport and Seoul Station.
