To help you plan your layover or overnight sleepover, here is a quick run-down about what to expect during your time at Pyongyang International Airport, also known as Pyongyang Sunan International Airport.
What to Expect
Pyongyang Airport (code: FNJ) has two terminals: Terminal 1, which opened in 2016 and handles domestic flights, and Terminal 2, which opened in 2015, serves routes to China and Russia. Facilities include a restaurant and shops, but we cannot confirm whether WiFi is available.
