Terminal Buildings and Facilities

  • Multiple passenger terminals
  • International passenger handling
  • Hub-oriented transfer flows
  • Separate processing for arrivals and departures

Airport History

The airport was developed to replace Taipei's older main international airport and to provide Taiwan with a larger aviation gateway capable of handling rising international demand. It was planned as a modern hub airport for the Taipei region and opened in the late 1970s after construction in Taoyuan County.

Over time, the airport expanded through terminal development, airfield improvements, and infrastructure upgrades to support growing traffic and a wider international route network. As Taiwan's aviation market matured, the airport became increasingly important for both nonstop long-haul travel and connecting flows within East Asia.

Its role strengthened further as international airlines and Taiwan-based carriers built hub operations around Taipei. The airport's facilities and airside infrastructure were adapted over the years to accommodate larger aircraft, higher passenger volumes, and more complex transfer activity.

Today, it operates as Taiwan's principal international airport and a major hub in the region, with its runway system, terminal layout, and route network all reflecting that role.
