North Korea cancels domestic flight route

Two routes remain, mostly used by North Korean passangers

North Korea cancelled one of only three domestic flight routes in December last year after just six months of operation.

The route ran from Pyongyang to Sandok airport, near the city of Hamhung on the DPRK’s eastern coast. The cancellation was likely due to under demand for the service, as the city is also accessible by rail and road.
