Operating hours0600-2300 local daily; curfew 2300-0600 (noise abatement — no scheduled ops overnight at this downtown-Taipei airport); Customs/Immigration/Health 0500-2300 local; MET briefing H24
TerminalsTwo terminals sharing one building, linked airside — Terminal 1 (international/cross-strait "golden routes": Tokyo Haneda, Seoul Gimpo, Shanghai Hongqiao, plus Shanghai Pudong, Xiamen, Fuzhou, Chengdu and Chongqing) and Terminal 2 (domestic: Hualien and Taitung, plus outlying islands Kinmen, Magong/Penghu and the Matsu Islands (Nangan/Beigan) — the former trunk routes to Kaohsiung, Taichung and Chiayi were discontinued in 2007-2008 after Taiwan High Speed Rail opened)
Runways (1)
- 10/28 · 2,605 m / 8,547 ft · 60 m wide · Concrete/Asphalt (PCN 85/F/C/X/T) · ILS ILS CAT I on RWY 10 (LOC 108.90 MHz / GP 329.30 MHz, DME CH26X); RWY 28 has only an offset LDA (7 degrees, LOC 108.10 MHz, DME CH18X), no glidepath
Airport contact
Taipei's original downtown airport, in Songshan District about 3 km/10 minutes from the city centre, giving it a small but valuable set of city-to-city international "golden routes" (Tokyo Haneda, Seoul Gimpo, Shanghai Hongqiao) alongside its core role as the domestic/outlying-islands hub. Home base for Mandarin Airlines and UNI Air's ATR72 regional network, with China Airlines and EVA Air also serving it as a secondary Taipei point for the international routes. Curfew-bound (no scheduled flights 2300-0600 local) and single-runway: RWY 28 has only an offset LDA with no glidepath, so RWY 10 with its full ILS CAT I is the primary instrument approach.

Ground handling
Available · 3 providers
Evergreen Airline Services Corp (長榮航勤股份有限公司, EGAS)
EVA Air-owned ground handler; per its own corporate timeline (zh.wikipedia.org / egas.com.tw) EGAS took over Taipei Songshan Airport's ground-handling agency business in 2010 and operates at four airports (Taoyuan, Songshan, Kaohsiung, Taichung) providing passenger, ramp, baggage and cargo/mail handling; ISO 9001 and ISAGO certified. Note: EGAS's own site content emphasises Taoyuan/Kaohsiung/Taichung more prominently than Songshan, so the scale of its Songshan operation versus incumbent TASCO is unconfirmed.

Taiwan Airport Service Co., Ltd (臺灣航勤股份有限公司)
Taiwan's first airport ground-handling company, founded 1 August 1966 specifically to handle Taipei Songshan Airport's passenger and cargo ground services; China Airlines is a major shareholder (China Airlines Group). Confirmed via the company's own site (taichin.com.tw) and Wikipedia: address No.340 Dunhua N. Rd., Songshan Dist. (at the airport) and phone ••• both match independently. ISAGO and ISO 9001 certified; now also operates at Kaohsiung and Taichung Qingquangang.

CPC Corporation, Taiwan (台灣中油股份有限公司)
National oil company and Taiwan's incumbent domestic Jet A-1 (航空煤油) supplier; CPC lists aviation kerosene among its core refined-product lines and is the historic fuel supplier to Taiwan's civil airports including Taipei Songshan, per cpc.com.tw. Reported SAF-blend trials at Songshan specifically for China Airlines/EVA Air/Starlux during 2025 could not be independently confirmed with the tools available and should be treated as unconfirmed pending a primary source. Into-plane agent at TSA is unconfirmed (may be delegated to the ground handlers).

Confirmed via zh.wikipedia.org: Mandarin Airlines' maintenance organisation (MDA-EMO) opened a hangar/maintenance base at Songshan on 11 Jan 2018 alongside its ATR72 fleet's formal establishment, performing transit/daily checks and defect troubleshooting; HQ address No.3, Aly.123, Ln.405, Dunhua N. Rd. matches the draft.

China Airlines Engineering Organization (中華航空公司修護組織, EMO)
Claimed as one of China Airlines EMO's three primary domestic line-maintenance stations (with Taoyuan and Kaohsiung), covering 90+ outstations and 850+ weekly movements. China Airlines' own mainline fleet (737-800/A321neo/A330-300) is confirmed to operate at Songshan (per zh.wikipedia.org), which supports the need for some line capability there, but the specific station network figures and this entry's presence could not be verified against a primary EMO source and no contact details were found — downgraded to unconfirmed rather than dropped, and kept distinct from Mandarin Airlines' separate MDA-EMO entry above.

Mandarin Airlines (華信航空股份有限公司, China Airlines Group)
Hangar-based A-checks at the Songshan facility for its own ATR72-600 fleet; the draft's claim that the hangar also holds an owned A320 is not well supported — Mandarin's A320-family flying is wet-leased from Tiger Air rather than its own fleet, so this has been narrowed to ATR72 (plus occasional wet-leased A320 traffic).

China Pacific Catering Services (華膳空廚股份有限公司, CPCS)
Joint venture of China Airlines and the Swire (Taikoo) Group; kitchen confirmed via cpcs.com.tw to be located in Luzhu, Taoyuan (not on the Songshan site) with catering trucked/uplifted to Songshan for China Airlines Group flights, including its international/cross-strait routes (e.g. Haneda, Shanghai Hongqiao). The draft's claim that this also covers Cathay Pacific's Taiwan-Hong Kong routes via Songshan is likely inaccurate — Cathay does not operate scheduled service from Songshan (its TPE-HKG flights use Taoyuan) — so that portion of CPCS's JV work is not relevant to TSA and has been removed from this detail.

(address matches the draft) in 2014, supplying inflight meals for Songshan-departing flights; majority-owned by China Airlines and UNI Air, serving primarily the China Airlines/UNI Air group at TSA.

Cargo handling
Unconfirmed · 2 providers
Chungkuo International Logistics Co., Ltd (中科國際物流股份有限公司)
Claimed sole operator of Taipei Songshan Airport's international air-cargo terminal (國際航空貨物集散站) under a CAA-issued licence dated October 2010, timed with the TSA-Haneda route launch (31 Oct 2010, a well-documented event). This overall timeline is internally consistent with known Songshan history, but the company's own website/primary source could not be reached to independently confirm the licence, facility size (~5,665 sqm) or address (No.340-6 Dunhua N. Rd.) — treat as unconfirmed pending a primary-source check rather than dropped, since it is plausibly a real, still-operating cargo-terminal operator.

Aviation security
Available
Aviation Police Bureau, Taipei Branch (內政部警政署航空警察局臺北分局)
National statutory body (Ministry of the Interior); confirmed via zh.wikipedia.org that the Bureau's organisational structure names a "Taipei Branch (臺北分局)" that is explicitly located at Taipei Songshan Airport itself — i.e. this branch IS the Songshan-based unit, not merely a branch that "covers" it — running security screening, cargo/mail inspection and airport policing there. Caveat: Bureau HQ is in Taoyuan (Dayuan Dist.) and the phone number given uses the 03 (Taoyuan) area code, so it is likely the Bureau's general/HQ switchboard rather than a Taipei-Branch-specific line; a Songshan-specific extension is unconfirmed.

Car Plus (格上汽車租賃, Carplus Auto Leasing, part of Yulon Motors Group) is confirmed as a real, major national rental brand (~23% market share) offering airport pickup/drop-off (機場接送) per car-plus.com.tw, but its own site/Wikipedia entry list branch details only via a JS-rendered locations page that could not be scraped, so a physical Songshan Airport counter/address-match claim could not be independently confirmed — downgraded from "available" to unconfirmed rather than dropped, since Car Plus is a genuine company that plausibly serves TSA.
