Location

Taipei, Taiwan

Taipei Songshan International Airport (TSA/RCSS) is a city-center airport located in the Songshan District of Taipei, Taiwan. Originally the island's primary international gateway, it now serves a mix of cross-strait flights to mainland China, regional routes to Japan and South Korea, and domestic services within Taiwan. The airport sits just a few kilometers from central Taipei, making it exceptionally convenient for business travelers. It underwent significant modernization and infrastructure improvements in the 2000s to accommodate growing cross-strait passenger demand following the expansion of direct air links between Taiwan and China. Songshan competes and complements Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), which handles the bulk of long-haul international traffic. TSA focuses on shorter-haul routes where its downtown location provides a clear advantage in travel time and convenience.

Terminals

The airport operates a single passenger terminal building that handles both domestic and international departures and arrivals.

Getting to & from

The airport is directly accessible via the Taipei Metro (MRT) Songshan–Xindian Line, with the Songshan Airport Station located adjacent to the terminal, and is also served by taxis and buses.

Airlines here
