Airport, seaport and connections in Daegu
Daegu International Airport (TAE), in the north-east of the city, shares its runways with an air force base and offers domestic flights and a limited number of international routes within Asia. Most international air freight for Daegu is therefore trucked to Incheon International Airport (ICN) for long-haul departures, or to Gimhae International Airport (PUS) in Busan for some regional routes. Daegu has no seaport; container cargo moves by road or rail through the Port of Busan, which is the natural sea gateway for the Daegu and North Gyeongsang region.
Daegu is a crossroads of the expressway network. The Gyeongbu Expressway connects the city with Busan and Seoul, the Jungang Expressway runs north to Andong and south towards Busan, and the Gwangju-Daegu Expressway links the south-west. The Daegu Outer Ring Expressway serves the industrial complexes around the city. The Gyeongbu Line and KTX services at Dongdaegu station connect Daegu by rail with Busan and Seoul.

Air freight Daegu: FAQ
Can't find your answer? Email ops@ziem-logistics.com or call +49 40 57290280.
Do Daegu air shipments leave from Daegu Airport or Incheon?
Daegu International (TAE) has limited international cargo connections, so we usually truck international air freight to Incheon (ICN) or, for some regional routes, to Gimhae (PUS). Hand-carried On-Board Courier shipments can sometimes use TAE. We confirm routing and cut-off times with every booking.
Can you collect from suppliers in Gumi and North Gyeongsang as well?
Yes. We arrange pick-up and delivery across Daegu and North Gyeongsang, including Gumi, Gyeongsan and Chilgok, and consolidate shipments for air freight via Incheon or sea freight via Busan where this makes sense.
Can medical devices from Daegu be shipped by air to Europe or the US?
Yes. We book air freight via Incheon and check with you whether the devices need specific documents, such as registrations or certificates required by the destination market. Sensitive or temperature-controlled products are packed according to the agreed handling instructions.
Which airports do you use for air freight from Daegu?
Mainly Daegu (TAE) and Incheon (road feeder) (ICN). Depending on capacity and destination, we also route via the main hubs in South Korea.
Do you offer urgent air freight in Daegu?
Yes. With Next Flight Out we book the first available flight from TAE, and with an on-board courier a person hand-carries the goods door to door.
Do you use local agents in Daegu?
No. We work directly with the airlines and issue our own air waybills, and we do not use local agents. Where we cannot do it ourselves, we use a few long-standing, trusted partners for road transport and customs, under our procedures. We do not work as an agent for other forwarders: our customers are shippers and consignees.
