Kim Jong Un, the current leader of North Korea, is believed to fly regularly on board a Russian-made Ilyushin Il-62M jet. The plane is equipped with a bedroom, a conference room, and a private office for Kim Jong Un. It is unclear if Kim Jong Un actually pilots the plane himself or if he has a personal pilot.
From what I can find, it does not appear that Kim Jong Un flies.
Can people in North Korea fly?
In North Korea, only a small number of citizens are allowed to travel outside the country. In order to do so, they must get permission from the government.

However, there are also a number of North Koreans who sneak into China illegally in order to escape the harsh conditions in their home country.
If you are traveling to North Korea, you will need to obtain a passport from another country. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK, North Korea) does not currently allow US passports to be used for travel into, in, or through the country. This is due to the serious and mounting risk of arrest and long-term detention of US citizens in North Korea. If you are a US citizen, you should consider obtaining a passport from another country before traveling to North Korea.

As tensions continue to rise over North Korea’s nuclear weapons development program, the State Department has issued a travel warning advising against all travel to the country.

Since 2016, many airlines have been avoiding North Korean airspace due to the risk of unannounced missile launches.

Physical isolation is a form of government control where people are not allowed to leave their country without the government’s permission. This is often done to prevent people from sharing information or fleeing to other countries. North Korea is an example of a country that uses physical isolation to control its citizens. Those who attempt to leave the country illegally can face severe consequences, including torture, forced labor, and life-imprisonment in a political prison camp.

Is North Korea closed to tourists
In principle, anyone is allowed to travel to North Korea; only South Koreans and journalists are routinely denied, although there have been some exceptions for journalists. North Korea is a socialist state, and the government tightly controls all travel in and out of the country.
It is interesting to note that North Korea has an adequate telephone system, with 118 million fixed lines available in 2008. However, most phones are only installed for senior government officials. This means that if someone wanting a phone installed must fill out a form indicating their rank, why they want a phone, and how they will pay for it. It is likely that this system is in place to help keep control of the population and to prevent people from communicating with the outside world.
