Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (IATA: TPE, ICAO: RCTP), also sometimes referred to as Taipei-Taoyuan International Airport, is an international airport situated in Taoyuan City which serves the entire northern Taiwan region including the capital city Taipei. Located about 40 km (25 mi) west of the capital Taipei in Dayuan District, Taoyuan, the airport is the busiest and largest in Taiwan.[3] In 2016, it was ranked the best airport for its size in the Asia-Pacific region by Airports Council International.[4]

The airport opened for commercial operations in 1979 as Chiang Kai-shek International Airport (中正國際機場) and was renamed in 2006.[5] It is an important regional trans-shipment center, passenger hub, and gateway for destinations in Asia, and is one of two international airports that serve Taipei. The other, Taipei Songshan Airport, is located within the city limits and served as Taipei's only international airport until 1979.[6] Songshan now mainly serves chartered flights, intra-island flights, and limited international flights.

In 2018, Taoyuan International Airport handled a record 46.5 million passengers and 2.3 billion kg of freight, making it the 11th busiest airport worldwide by international passenger traffic, and 8th busiest in terms of international freight traffic in 2018.[7][2][8] It is the main international hub for China Airlines, EVA Air and Starlux Airlines. It is also a hub of Mandarin Airlines, Uni Air and Tigerair Taiwan.
