## Description

Chiayi Airport (CYI/RCKU) shares its site with the Republic of China Air Force's Chiayi Air Base and is run jointly by the civil aviation authority CAA and the Ministry of National Defence, so military priorities cap what civil traffic can do there. A single carrier serves it — Uni Air, flying to Kinmen (KNH) and to Magong in the Penghu islands (MZG) — and no cargo airline operates from the field. There is no confirmed cargo terminal and no freighter activity; shipments travel at most as belly cargo on those domestic flights, and international customs clearance on site is not confirmed either. The airport states a terminal capacity of 222,000 passengers per year, while actual passenger and freight figures for 2024 and 2025 are unconfirmed. For shippers in western Taiwan's Chiayi county this means air freight moves by road to the Taoyuan (TPE) cargo hub, helped by good motorway access and the Chiayi high-speed rail station. Kaohsiung (KHH) to the south is the second option, and its seaport handles the region's ocean freight.
