Not as sprawling as Seoul's mega-hubs, Gimhae's efficient security and immigration processes allow frequent flyers to cut it closer with arrival times, particularly for early flights. At a glance Located 22 kilometers west of Busan’s city center, Gimhae International serves as a key hub for Air Busan and Korean Air. It houses two main terminals: Domestic and International. With efficient access into Busan via the Busan–Gimhae Light Rail Transit, expect a journey time of around 60 minutes with a brief Metro transfer, costing between ₩1,700 and ₩1,900. For those preferring taxi service, fares to central areas like Seomyeon or Haeundae range from ₩20,000 to ₩30,000, though travel times vary widely based on traffic. Terminals & layout Gimhae's airport operations are divided into a Domestic Terminal and an International Terminal. Both terminals house popular airlines such as Air Busan, Asiana Airlines, and Jeju Air.… ## Terminals (2) - **Domestic Terminal** — airlines: Air Busan, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, Jin Air, Korean Air, T'way Air URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/terminals/domestic - **International Terminal** — airlines: Air Busan, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, Jin Air, Korean Air URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/terminals/international ## Dining (3) - **CU** — $ URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/restaurants/cu - **Restaurant** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/restaurants/restaurant - **Snack Bar** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/restaurants/snack-bar ## Lounges (4) - **Air Busan Lounge** — International Terminal · access: International, 3F near Gate 4 · 06:00-22:00 URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/lounges/air-busan-lounge - **KAL Lounge** — Domestic Terminal · access: International, 3F near Gate 4 · 05:50-21:15 URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/lounges/kal-lounge - **N Sky Hub Lounge** — International Terminal · access: International, 2F between Gates 1 and 2 · 06:30-21:30 URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/lounges/n-sky-hub-lounge - **Sky Hub Lounge** — International Terminal · access: International, 2F between Gates 9 and 10 · 06:30-21:30 URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/lounges/sky-hub-lounge ## Shops (10) - **Bookshop** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/bookshop - **Convenience Store** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/convenience-store - **Department Store** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/department-store - **Gift Shop** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/gift-shop - **Gyeongbokgung Duty Free** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/gyeongbokgung-duty-free - **Local Goods Shop** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/local-goods-shop - **Lotte Duty Free** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/lotte-duty-free - **Pharmacy** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/pharmacy - **Shoeshine** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/shoeshine - **Travel Agency** URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/shops/travel-agency ## Parking (3) - **Domestic Terminal Car Park** — Short-term URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/parking/domestic-terminal-car-park - **International Terminal Car Park** — Short-term URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/parking/international-terminal-car-park - **Long-term Car Park** — Monthly rates URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/parking/long-term-car-park ## Ground transport (12) - **Bus 9** — Local bus to West Busan URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/bus-9 - **Busan–Gimhae Light Rail Transit** — Train · ≈60 min airport–Seomyeon/Haeundae with Metro transfer · ₩1,700–₩1,900 URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/busan-gimhae-light-rail-transit - **Busan Metro Line 2** — Metro connection · ≈20–25 min Sasang–Seomyeon (Line 2 only) URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/busan-metro-line-2 - **Deluxe Taxi** — Premium taxi URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/deluxe-taxi - **Express Bus to Gyeongju** — Intercity coach URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/express-bus-to-gyeongju - **Express Bus to Jinhae** — Intercity coach URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/express-bus-to-jinhae - **Express Bus to Masan** — Intercity coach URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/express-bus-to-masan - **Express Bus to Pohang** — Intercity coach URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/express-bus-to-pohang - **Express Bus to Ulsan** — Intercity coach URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/express-bus-to-ulsan - **Express Bus to Yangsan** — Intercity coach URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/express-bus-to-yangsan - **Taxi** — Metered taxi · ≈30–60 min airport–Busan (traffic‑dependent) · ₩20,000–₩30,000 (sample: Seomyeon/Haeundae) · On demand during operating hours of curbside taxi ranks URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/taxi - **Ujin Airport Limousine Bus** — Airport bus URL: https://airport.flights/airport/pus/transport/ujin-airport-limousine-bus ## Insider tips - _Insider_: Use the free shuttle to move between terminals—it’s faster and easier than navigating stairs with luggage. - _Local_: The CU store on 1F of the International Terminal is a 24/7 hub for Korean snacks and essentials, perfect for late arrivals. - _Money_: For cost-effective transport into Busan, opt for the Busan–Gimhae Light Rail and a Metro transfer; it's under ₩2,000. - _Quiet_: Seek the Air Busan Lounge near Gate 4 for a more relaxed experience with amenities like massage chairs. - _Time_: Arrive at least 90 minutes early for morning flights; security is efficient, but bottlenecks can occur. - _Avoid_: Skip heavy shopping here—brands and options are limited; better to make major purchases in Busan city. - _Quiet_: To dodge post-immigration dining disappointments after 9 PM, eat landside or at CU before crossing security. - _Time_: Priority Pass and credit card programs provide mid-level crowd access to international Sky Hub Lounges before noon. --- ## Live data Live arrivals, departures, and weather are not in this static reference.
