Daedo Capital International Airport (IATA: DGX, ICAO: DCIA), formerly referred to as the Shin Daedo International Airport (Zhenian: 신대도국제공항) or Daedo Seongjo International Airport (Zhenian: 대도성조국제공항), is the primary international airport of Daedo. Located in the southwestern edge of the Seoan-gu District of Donggyeong, it is situated about 45 kilometers away from the city's Financial District. It is currently the largest airport in Zhenia, as well as one of the busiest airports in the world.
Currently serving the metropolitan area around the nation's capital as well as parts of Chungmu Province, Daedo Capital International Airport was built to replace the overcrowded Jinpo International Airport in northwestern Daedo. Since its opening in May 1, 1997, the two airports will both act as international hubs, although most commercial flights have relocated to the new airport upon its opening. Terminal 2, the most recent addition to the airport, opened in April 2, 2017, as the second of three phases for the expansion of the airport.
