Talk:Songshan Airport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I heard that part of the argument against opening the three direct links is that mainland flights would fly in here instead to CKS, and this would potentially cause a security issue. Is this true? Do the charter flights to the mainland land and takeoff here instead of CKS? --Jiang 03:15, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)

I don't think they do. The airport's official website says nothing about fights to the mainland.Vancouverguy 03:19, 24 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- It's the most brain-dead argument I've ever heard. It takes at least 1 hr to travel from Taipei City to the CKS International Airport (if without traffic congestion). After 9/11, it may take up to two hrs to check your luggage. An international flight may require you to leave your home 3 to 4 hrs earlier. Not to mention fewer and fewer airliners are providing direct flights from CKS to international cities these days. Air travel from Taiwan to almost anywhere other than LA, NY, and some major Asian cities and a couple of European cities now become quite difficult.
- If Songshan Airport handles regional flights (e.g. Shanghai, Beijing, HK, Tokyo and Seoul), a Taipei citizen can take a city bus to the airport and save a little time and a lot of money. If we are allowed to fly to Shanghai and transfer there, it'll be a huge time and money saver. -- Toytoy 11:48, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
