Mirim Airport survived as a military airfield, and Pyongyang Air Base was re-developed for government use and for housing.

After an armistice was signed, two months later, the North Korean Government began repairing and expanding the airport.

[10] In March 2008, Air China re-established service to Beijing on a Boeing 737, three days a week,[11] and suspended due to lack of demand on 22 November 2017.

These flights were used by Koreans visiting relatives across the border; these services were halted after the ending of the Sunshine Policy by South Korea in 2008.

[18] The airport was closed to international travel in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic,[19] and reopened in 2023 with the resumption of Air Koryo flights to Beijing and Vladivostok.

About 1 kilometre (0.62 mi) from runway 17/35, the facility includes aircraft hangars and apartment buildings for high-ranking officials and Air Koryo employees.

[36] In addition, Sunan Station, on the Pyongui Line of the Korean State Railway, is 800 meters (2,600 ft) from the Pyongyang airport terminal building.
