Magong Airport was
commissioned in August 1977.
As Penghu relies on the air
transport for external
transportation and its
prosperous development in
tourism, the annual
operation volume of Magong
Airport has reached over
1,790,000 persons since
1994. Due to the need for
long-term development, the
CAA purchased a piece of
land about 11 hectares at
the south-west of the
existing terminal area for
the airport expansion
project.
The original terminal
building of Magong Airport
is a 2-story building with a
floor area of 5,086m2 only.
The new terminal building,
designed for an annual
passenger traffic volume of
4,010,000, is a 3-story
building with 1 underground
floor that occupies a floor
area of approximately 37,906
m2. The 18.45m tall building
is spacious and comfortable.
New and innovative
facilities such as (three)
ramps, flight information
display system, elevators
and escalators, as well as
baggage handling system are
available. There are also
nine aprons to cater for the
need of large, medium and
small aircrafts of Boeing
757 series and below and one
apron for helicopters.
On the 1/F of the new
terminal building, there are
four conglomerates of
check-in islands (32
check-in lines). Each
conglomerate is equipped
with a baggage handling
system. After check-in and
checking their baggage,
passengers can go to the
lounge on the 2/F by the
escalators after passing the
security check of the
aviation police. Passengers
of large aircrafts will
board the aircrafts through
the ramp; and that of medium
and small aircrafts will go
down to the first floor by
the escalators and board the
aircrafts through the
all-weather corridor
to avoid the sunlight or
rain. Arrival passengers of
large aircrafts will follow
the ramp to go to the 2/F
before going down to the 1/F
by the escalators to the
baggage claim area and leave
while that of medium and
small aircrafts will follow
the
all-weather corridor
to go to the baggage claim
area before claiming the
baggage and leaving. The
transit routes are smooth
and convenient. In order to
improve the service level
and meet the needs of the
tourists of Penghu district,
shops, restaurants and
service facilities including
counters for insurance,
tourist information, car
rental and accommodation are
available in the terminal
building.
The extended civil
aviation zone of Magong
Airport was completed and
started operation on 27
September 2002 to enhance
the quality of the external
air transportation of Penghu.
To coordinate with the
promotion of the sightseeing
activities of Penghu County,

transportation is provided
for tourists. The
comfortable and spacious
terminal building opens a
new era for Penghu’s
external air transportation.
