| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tainan International Airport / Tainan Air Base | TNN | 5 km (3 mi) | 10,007 ft | 63 ft |

Runway length is a practical tell: at 10,007 ft, TNN can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 63 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
