Gimhae International Airport (PUS)

Gimhae International Airport serves Busan with two distinct terminal buildings connected by free shuttle bus service (5-minute journey). The Domestic Terminal handles all domestic Korean routes with modern facilities and efficient processing, while the International Terminal serves routes throughout Asia including China, Japan, Southeast Asia, and limited long-haul destinations. Combined, the terminals handle approximately 17 million passengers annually. Walking distances within each terminal are compact: check-in to gates 8-15 minutes in either terminal. Inter-terminal transfers require 10-15 minutes including shuttle time and security re-screening. Domestic security typically processes in 10-15 minutes, while international security takes 15-25 minutes. Immigration for international passengers adds 10-30 minutes depending on flight loads and season. Both terminals offer dining, shopping, and basic amenities with traditional Korean restaurants and duty-free available in the international terminal. Ground transportation includes the convenient Busan-Gimhae Light Rail providing direct connections to Busan's subway network and city center in 30-40 minutes. The airport's location makes it an excellent gateway to South Korea's second-largest city and nearby coastal attractions.
