The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 11,490 ft / 3,502 m.

City and airport alternatives
Sunan is the closest retained city-time anchor at 3.1 km. ICN Seoul is the closest retained airport alternative at 207 km.
Country airport peers
FNJ has no same-country peer airports retained in the current airport set, so the useful comparison points are its code, coordinates, timezone, and route references.

Decision matrix for FNJ
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
When the clock matters
FNJ uses Asia/Pyongyang (KST, UTC+09:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
When surface access matters
Pyongyang Sunan International Airport is about 22 km from central Pyongyang; build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
When alternates matter
ICN Seoul is the closest retained alternate at 207 km, time difference +0h.
When source checks matter
airkoryo.com.kp is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
