TPE Airport (Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport) – Cargo, Address, Transit

About This Airport

At roughly 2.35 million tonnes of cargo in 2024, Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE/RCTP) ranks among the world's busiest freight airports. About 62% of that tonnage is electronics, semiconductors and precision machinery, which ties TPE directly to the island's chip industry. This is genuine freighter business: China Airlines Cargo and EVA Air Cargo both run dedicated fleets from Taoyuan, EVA having added two converted Boeing 777Fs and China Airlines having widened freighter cooperation with Cainiao and SF Airlines. Ground handling is shared between Taiwan Air Cargo Terminals (TACT) and Evergreen's cargo handling arm. A free trade zone on the airport site allows storage, repacking and re-export without prior import clearance, which underpins Taiwan's transhipment role. National Highways 1 and 2 put Taipei about 40 km away and the Hsinchu Science Park within roughly an hour, while Taipei Port sits close enough for sea-air combinations. Temperature-controlled pharma and biotech traffic is growing as Taiwan builds out vaccine and cell-therapy manufacturing. Terminal 3 is now targeted for completion in 2027, and together with a third runway the airport aims for around four million tonnes of annual freight capacity by 2030. Kaohsiung (KHH) and Taichung (RMQ) serve as domestic alternatives, with Hong Kong (HKG) the usual regional fallback.
