Taipei Taoyuan International Airport is Taiwan's largest and busiest airport and its main international gateway. Compare airlines flying in and out of Taipei (TPE) and set a Price Alert on Traveloka before you book.

Overview

TPE sits about 40 km west of central Taipei. It's primarily an international hub — most of Taiwan's point-to-point domestic flights (to islands like Kinmen and Penghu) operate from the smaller Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) instead, so check which Taipei airport your flight actually uses.

Where TPE Connects You To

TPE connects Taipei to destinations across Asia, and long-haul routes to North America, Europe, Oceania and the Middle East.

Airlines and Hubs

China Airlines and EVA Air are based at TPE, alongside dozens of international carriers.

Terminals

TPE currently operates Terminal 1 and Terminal 2, with a much larger Terminal 3 under construction and targeted for around 2027. Domestic-to-international connections require clearing immigration and re-checking in at the domestic counters in T2.

Getting To and From the City

The Taoyuan Airport MRT runs express trains to Taipei Main Station in about 35–37 minutes, with departures roughly every 15 minutes. Buses, taxis and rideshare are also available. Note that the landside Skytrain between T1 and T2 is suspended from mid-2026 for construction linking to T3 — use the MRT or the 24-hour shuttle bus instead.

Facilities

Expect extensive dining (including local Taiwanese food), duty-free shopping, lounges and free Wi-Fi across both terminals.
