Kaohsiung International Airport

Kaohsiung International Airport is about 8 km from central Kaohsiung. The drive downtown usually takes 20 to 30 minutes without traffic. The Kaohsiung Metro Red Line runs from the airport station to Kaohsiung Main Station in about 18 minutes and to Zuoying, where the high-speed rail stops, in about 28 minutes.

Kaohsiung International Airport has two terminals side by side, joined by a corridor. The International Terminal handles all international and cross-strait flights, with arrivals on the 1st floor and departures on the 3rd floor. The Domestic Terminal handles flights within Taiwan, mainly to Penghu, Kinmen, Hualien and the smaller islands.

Yes. Kaohsiung International Airport stands in Xiaogang District, also spelled Siaogang, so many locals call it Xiaogang Airport. It is the only airport in Kaohsiung with scheduled passenger flights, and its code is KHH. If your ticket shows KHH, you are flying into this airport in southern Taiwan.

China Airlines and EVA Air both fly from Kaohsiung, along with Tigerair Taiwan, Cathay Pacific, HK Express, Peach, Jeju Air, T'way Air, AirAsia, VietJet Air, Vietnam Airlines, Thai Airways and United Airlines, among others. Uni Air, Mandarin Airlines and Daily Air operate domestic flights to Penghu, Kinmen, Hualien and the smaller islands.

Yes. Kaohsiung International Airport Station (R4) on the Red Line is right below the terminals. Use Exit 6 from the International Terminal or Exit 2 from the Domestic Terminal. Trains run north to Kaohsiung Main Station in about 18 minutes and to Zuoying in about 28 minutes. You can pay with an EasyCard or iPass.

Take the Kaohsiung Metro Red Line from the airport station to Zuoying, about 28 minutes, where the Taiwan High Speed Rail stops at Zuoying Station. Trains continue north to Tainan, Taichung and Taipei. A taxi or private transfer from the airport to Zuoying is the door-to-door alternative if you are carrying heavy luggage.

Coaches to Fangliao and Kenting leave from the stops outside the arrival halls, but the trip takes several hours with stops along the way. By road, Kenting is about two hours from Kaohsiung. Many travelers heading to Kenting with luggage or children choose a private transfer, which goes straight to their hotel.

Metered taxis wait at the official stands outside the 1st-floor arrival exits of both terminals. Join the line at the stand rather than accepting offers inside the hall. Have your hotel name and address written in Chinese, or ready to show on your phone, before you get in, since that is how most drivers find addresses.

Yes. Since 1 October 2025, Taiwan only accepts the online Taiwan Arrival Card, and paper cards are no longer handed out. Submit it on the official website up to three days before you land; one person can fill it in for a group. Travelers who arrive without it must complete it online before immigration.

It depends on your nationality. Citizens of many countries can enter Taiwan visa-free for a set period, while others need a visa or an online travel authorization before they fly. Your passport should be valid for at least six months from arrival. Check the current rules with Taiwan's Bureau of Consular Affairs before you travel.

Yes. The International Terminal has an EVA Air VIP Lounge and a China Airlines lounge on the departures side, open to eligible passengers of those airlines and their alliance partners. Opening hours follow each airline's departures; the EVA Air lounge opens at 05:00 and closes in the evening after its last flight. Both are airside, past security and passport control.

No. The terminals close overnight, and you cannot stay inside between the last and first flights. The International Terminal opens early in the morning, before the first departures, and closes around midnight, while the Domestic Terminal keeps shorter daytime hours. If you have an early flight, plan to arrive after the terminal opens.

Kaohsiung is on Taiwan time, UTC+8, all year with no daylight saving time. The currency is the New Taiwan dollar (TWD). Bank of Taiwan and Mega Bank have exchange counters in the International Terminal, and ATMs are available. Cards are accepted in hotels and larger shops, but carry some cash for small vendors and night markets.

No. Kaohsiung International Airport is in southern Taiwan, at the opposite end of the island from Taipei. Taipei is served by Taoyuan International Airport (TPE) and Songshan Airport (TSA). To travel between the two cities, many people take the Taiwan High Speed Rail from Zuoying, which is linked to Kaohsiung airport by the metro Red Line.
