Two runways, military ramps and the Republic of China Air Force's C-130 transport fleet – that is Pingtung Air Force Base (ICAO: RCDC) in southern Taiwan. The installation is purely military: no airline operates here, and there is no public cargo handling of any kind. Its history stretches back to the Japanese colonial era of the 1920s, making it one of Taiwan's oldest military airfields. Commercial shippers should look roughly 30 kilometres west instead: air freight for the Pingtung region is processed at Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) or routed through Taiwan Taoyuan (TPE), while Kaohsiung's deep-water seaport covers ocean freight.
