Best Time to Visit
Yeosu Airport’s website markets it as “a friendly airport; an airport you want to visit again.” Its smaller exterior belies its convenient facilities, including car rental booths, restaurants, and even a fine art gallery. Construction on Yeosu Airport’s facilities was first completed in 1971. It was not until 1998 that the terminal would undergo an expansion program that would be completed in 2006. Yeosu Airport is a gateway to several main South Korean cities, including Sanghwa, Migok, and Gwangyang in South Jeolla.
