Description
Orang Airport is located in Orang County, North Hamgyong, approximately 40 kilometers south of Chongjin. The facility also serves the city of Rason. The airfield was originally established by the Imperial Japanese Army. During the Korean War, the United States Air Force designated the installation as Hoemun Airfield (K-33). It was renamed Orang Airport after the original Chongjin Airfield (K-34) was abandoned following the conflict.
The installation is currently controlled by the Korean People's Army. Its primary function is military, although it supports limited commercial passenger operations by Air Koryo, which maintains a route to Pyongyang.
Infrastructure at the base consists of a single runway and a terminal building configured for departures. The terminal facility contains a waiting lounge, a check-in desk, and security scanning equipment. There is no dedicated arrival terminal at the site.
