Air Travel |
|
Taiwan is located at the crossroads of some of Asia's busiest air routes, travel to and from the island is easy and convenient. The island has two international airports: the Taoyuan International Airport (TIA) (formally known as CKS International Airport) in the north and the smaller Kaohsiung International Airport (KIA) in the south. They are served by over 56 airlines from Asia, Europe, and North America. There are limited regular connections between Taipei and Kaohsiung. Alternatively, high speed rail system is a convenient way to travel between Taoyuan and Kaohsiung. We kindly suggest you to make your destination to Kaohsiung International Airport (KIA) for your own convenience of traveling to the conference site.
For information on Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport arrival and departure schedules, please visit the TIA website and the Conference website.
