Ted's photos - For Me & Youによって2019 - Taiwan - Taipei - Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
Our Avalon Mekong River Cruise tour is done like dinner.
Saturday 21 December and we are at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport waiting to board EVA Airline flight BR10 to Vancouver.
Concourse C in Taipei's airport has an eye catching ceiling.
The airport opened for commercial operations in 1979 and is an important regional trans-shipment center, passenger hub, and gateway for destinations in Asia.
Formerly known as Chiang Kai-shek International Airport, it was renamed on 06 September 2006 to its current name.
In 2018, Taiwan Taoyuan handled a record 46.5 million passengers and 2.3 billion kg of freight, making it the 11th busiest airport worldwide by international passenger traffic, and 8th busiest in terms of international freight traffic in 2018.
TPE is the main international hub for China Airlines and EVA Air.
Terminal 2 opened in 2000 to reduce heavy congestion in the aging Terminal 1
EVA Air uses Concourse C terminal 2 for most of its operations.
Terminal 2 recently underwent an expansion project that increased the terminal's annual passenger capacity by 5 million to 22 million per annum.
And this brings to an end the photos from this trip. Thanks for looking.
