North Korea Civil Aviation
Civil aviation is subordinate to the air force. Since joining
the International Civil Aviation Organization in 1977, the Civil
Aviation Bureau has operated as a public airline, although public
access by the North Korean citizenry is, like all travel,
restricted. The bureau operates international and domestic
flights and operations supporting conventional civil aviation,
military airlift, and logistic support. Although the Civil
Aviation Bureau is not a military organization, its subordination
to the air force command makes its equipment, facilities, and
personnel readily available for military use in the event of a
national emergency or mobilization.
