  • Taoyuan Airport's Skytrain service outside the restricted area will cease operations on July 1.
  • The change is to facilitate the construction of the third terminal and the upgrade to an automated electric bus system.
  • Passengers can use the Taoyuan Airport MRT or the 24-hour shuttle bus service for transfers between terminals.

Taoyuan Airport is adjusting its internal transportation system as construction on the third terminal progresses. The "Skytrain" service, which has operated outside the restricted area for over 23 years, will end on July 1. This move is part of a plan to integrate the new terminal and upgrade to a more modern, eco-friendly, and automated electric bus system.

While the Skytrain within the restricted area will continue normal operations, passengers needing to travel between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 outside the secure zone will need to use alternative transport. The airport recommends utilizing the Taoyuan Airport MRT, with stations A12, A13, and A14a connecting the terminals. Alternatively, a 24-hour shuttle bus service is now available, running every 15 minutes during the day (6 a.m. to 11:59 p.m.) and every 20 minutes at night (11 p.m. to 5:59 a.m.).

Passengers are advised to confirm their airline's terminal and allow ample transfer time. Information on these new transfer options and any further updates can be found on the airport company's official website, app, and dedicated shuttle bus section.
