2018 ANNUAL REPORT
Taoyuan Aerotropolis Project
The Taoyuan Aerotropolis Project is a significant development project as well as a driving force for Taiwan's economic growth
and industrial upgrade. To secure lands needed for the future development of Taoyuan International Airport Park, the review
of "Draft Taoyuan International Airport Park and the Adjacent Designated Area Plan" was conducted with instructions from
the Ministry of the Interior (MOI) to adjust the zone expropriation scope and area for the designated areas in the Airport Park,
which had been re-approved by the Urban Planning Commission of MOI in its 919th meeting on March 27, 2018. Following the re-
approved urban plan, the CAA had reported the adjusted scope of the designated areas in the Airport Park and ratio of land in
lieu of compensation for approval, which was approved by MOI on December 13, 2018. According to the approved contents, the
CAA will conduct the subsequent preliminary operation of zone expropriation.
Name Change for Magong Airport
Penghu is located on the Taiwan Strait between mainland China and the Taiwan Island. The CAA officially established the Magong
Airport on August 1, 1977, and opened airline routes. As of 2018, the annual traffic volume had surpassed 2.52 million passengers.
Apart from expanding the airport's terminal building and upgrading service facilities year by year, to respond to the local public
opinions and enhance the international visibility and recognizability of Penghu, the CAA officially announced the name change of
"Magong Airport" to "Penghu Airport" on August 9, 2018, with the approval from the Executive Yuan. The airport shall be more
recognizable internationally after the name change, benefiting the marketing of Penghu's tourism as a whole, while building the brand
for Penghu Islands as the most splendid bay in the world.
