The closest large one is Taichung International Airport / Ching Chuang Kang Air Base (RMQ), 15 km (9 mi) from the centre, whose 12,000-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taichung International Airport / Ching Chuang Kang Air Base | RMQ | 15 km (9 mi) | 12,000 ft | 663 ft |
| Hualien Chiashan Airport | HUN | 96 km (60 mi) | 9,022 ft | 52 ft |
| Chiayi Airport (regional) | CYI | 82 km (51 mi) | 10,007 ft | 85 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 12,000 ft, RMQ can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 663 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
