Taoyuan International Airport has returned to normal operations following the departure of Typhoon Bawei. The airport expects a significant surge in passenger traffic, estimating over 155,000 travelers and 756 flights for the day. This marks a return to normalcy after the previous day saw a rare complete cancellation of all flights, resulting in zero takeoffs and landings.

All essential transportation links to the airport are now functioning. This includes the Airport MRT, high-speed rail, Taiwan Railways, taxis, parking lots, and major bus routes. While most services have resumed, a few specific bus routes remain temporarily suspended. The airport authority advises passengers to monitor flight status updates from airlines and to arrive early to manage the expected crowds and ensure smooth travel.

The resumption of services at the airport signifies a return to routine after the disruption caused by the typhoon. The increase in passenger volume highlights the airport's role as a major hub and the swift recovery efforts to restore connectivity.
