Uljin Airport
Partially finished airport near Uljin County, South Korea / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Uljin Airfield (IATA: UJN, ICAO: RKTL) (Korean: 울진비행장) is a partially finished airport near Uljin County, South Korea. Construction was suspended in 2005 after the airport was 85% complete.[1] The Board of Audit and Inspection halted construction after it was determined no airline wanted to use the airport.[2] The airport gained international notoriety when it was selected by Agence France-Presse as one of its "Zany stories of 2007". The AFP reported "A town in South Korea which spent some US$140 million to build its own airport was then forced to admit that no airlines actually wanted to fly there."[3] Uljin Airport may be used for a pilot training center.[4]
