Gimhae International Airport is west of central Busan, beyond the Nakdong River. Check whether you need [a K-ETA](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/korea-k-eta/) before you board, and what [Korea customs allows](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/korea-customs-arrival/) on arrival. If Busan follows Seoul, [the Seoul arrival guide](https://travelsmarterasia.com/guides/seoul-airport-to-city/) covers Incheon.

## Limousine Line 1: Haeundae and Gijang

Busan Metropolitan City set out its airport limousine changes on 13 January 2026, effective from 5 January. Line 1 runs two routes:

- "Gijang – Haeundae – Gimhae International Airport (42.2 km, one-way 110 minutes)". From the airport, 10:10 to 21:40.
- "Jangsan – Haeundae – Gimhae International Airport (34.4 km, one-way 90 minutes)". From the airport, 07:10 to 16:50.

The fare is 9,500 won for an adult, 7,600 won for a youth and 4,800 won for a child. A stop at the East Busan Tourism Complex was added.

Line 2 runs "Bujeon – Seomyeon – Gimhae International Airport (15.7 km, one-way 50 minutes)", from the airport 07:20 to 21:30. The city cut the adult fare from 7,500 to 6,000 won "as of January 5, 2026". A youth pays 4,800 won and a child 3,000 won. The city says "Headways will be fine-tuned to 60–80 minutes."

## The light rail to Sasang

The Busan-Gimhae Light Rail runs from the airport to Sasang, which it lists as a stop on Busan Metro Line 2. Its notice says a regional transfer, from the first train on 19 September 2025, costs "일반 500원", that is 500 won for an adult, 260 won for a youth and nothing for a child. We could not open its full fare table on 4 November 2026, so we do not quote the single fare.

With limousines every 60 to 80 minutes, checking the next departure before you clear customs saves a wait.

## Paying

We could not read Busan Metro's own payment pages on 4 November 2026, and we found no official statement on whether foreign bank cards work at its ticket machines or gates. Carry won for your first ticket until you have checked at the station.

## Emergency numbers

Busan's city government says "You can use phone numbers 112, 119 without an area code even with a mobile phone." 112 is the police, and 119 dispatches firefighters and ambulances. The Korea Tourism Organization's 1330 travel hotline helps in English.

Emergency: 112 police, 119 fire and ambulance, 1330 for travel help in English. No official word on foreign cards at Busan Metro, so carry won for your first ticket.](https://travelsmarterasia.com/images/busan-airport-to-city-infographic-4.png "Step 4 of 4.
