Seoul is primarily served by two major airports:
- Incheon International Airport: Located approximately 30 miles (50 km) west-southwest of Seoul, this facility opened in 2001 and serves as the country's main international air-travel hub and primary port of entry.123
- Gimpo Airport: Situated in the western part of Seoul, this was formerly the city's main international airport. It now functions as a secondary airport, primarily serving domestic flights, and is connected by shuttle to Incheon International Airport.23
