A feasibility recheck has cleared the Baengnyeong Airport project, allowing its stalled administrative procedures to resume. The plan calls for a 1,200-meter runway, apron and passenger terminal in the Solgae area of Ongjin County, with national funding of 391.3 billion won. Expanding the aircraft capacity from 50 to 80 seats and widening the landing strip increased projected costs from 201.8 billion won to 391.3 billion won, delaying the target from 2030 to 2033.
Construction is now targeted for 2031 after a new basic plan and strategic environmental impact assessment.
