Before planning ground transport from Yangyang Airport to Yangyang Terminal, Sokcho or Gangneung, do not assume that a free shuttle is operating. Korea Airports Corporation's English public-transport page still labels the airport–Yangyang Terminal shuttle as 'service suspension', mentioning a pause in flight operations. Meanwhile, Korea Tourism Organization's airport guide, updated in May 2026, describes free shuttles to Yangyang Terminal and Gangneung Station from the second-floor area. The statements cannot both be treated as a confirmed live timetable. Contact Yangyang County on 033-670-2269 or the airport operations team on 033-670-7316 about your specific travel date, route and boarding point. If shuttle service is unavailable, check taxis near gate 3 on the first floor, or call 033-671-2300. Check the airline's latest schedule independently as well. The boarding location is also inconsistent: the tourism guide points to second-floor gates 2–3 for free shuttles, while the airport operator's English transport guide mentions first-floor gate 3 for the outbound airport shuttle. Taxi stand information differs too (airport operator: first-floor gate 3; tourism guide: gate 4). Verify whether services operate and the actual floor/boarding point with airport staff.
