Chiayi Airport – CYI Chiayi
Chiayi Airport with code CYI is located in Chiayi, Taiwan. It is also known as Shueishang Airport. The facilities of the airport include two runways and it is classified as a civilian airport. The facility is next to the Chiayi Airbase which is being used by the military. Today, the airport is considered a gateway to Alishan National Scenic Area which is considered as a popular tourist destination in the country. The airport opened its door to the public in 1976. Unfortunately, the airport was affected by a newly built high-speed train. The main operator of the facility is the Uni Air.
Best Time to Visit
Although it is classified as an international airport, the facility lacks a customs and immigration service area. Currently, there are no international flights using the airport aside from occasional chartered aircraft. China Airlines was one of the first airline carriers that serve the airport providing flights to Taipei. In 1995, the airport has served over a million passengers. Kaohsiung City Center and Linyuan are cities that surround the facility.
