Pyongyang Sunan International Airport is a near sea-level field at 117 ft (36 m), positioned at 39.2241° N, 125.6700° E in the Northern mid-latitudes. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 11,490 ft / 3,502 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Pyongyang (KST, UTC+09:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Sunan is the closest retained city-time anchor at 3.1 km. ICN Seoul is the closest retained airport alternative at 207 km.
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.
FNJ-ICN Seoul: 207 km, about 1h 6m, +0h. FNJ-GMP Seoul: 209 km, about 1h 6m, +0h. FNJ-YNY Gonghang-ro: 291 km, about 1h 12m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident ZKPY backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. airkoryo.com.kp is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at airkoryo.com.kp, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
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.
