LCCs Drive Rapid Growth For Taipei’s Taoyuan International Airport

Taoyuan International Airport Director Chungli Yu discusses the airport’s rapid LCC growth and expectations for further LCC growth. Taipei’s main airport has benefitted from growing outbound and inbound demand – with Taiwan emerging as a popular tourist destination and Taiwanese residents’ appetite for travel increasing, stimulated by low fares within Asia. Taoyuan passenger traffic has more than doubled over the last decade and the LCC share of traffic has grown over this period from 2% to 20%.
