Mokpo Airport opened as a stopover between Seoul-Jeju in 1969 but closed in 1972 . Twenty years later , Mokpo Airport opened again and several airplanes took off and landed . There were six daily flights to Seoul , two to Jeju , and one to Busan . Problems associated with this airport include a narrow runway as well as frequent misty weather . Additionally , there were fewer customers after the crash of Asiana Airlines Flight 733 and the opening of the Seohaean Expressway also known as the west coast highway . These were among the reasons that the airport was closed in 2007
