Flights to Taipei
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Taipei is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Taipei Songshan International Airport (TSA), 3 km (2 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 8,547 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE, 30 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Taipei Songshan International Airport | TSA | 3 km (2 mi) | 8,547 ft | 18 ft |
| Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport | TPE | 30 km (19 mi) | 12,008 ft | 106 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 8,547 ft, TSA handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 18 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
