Songshan Airport is located just steps from the city centre. Opened in 1950, it has historically been a domestic airport, but now also has regional flights to mainland China, Japan, and South Korea. After a Transasia turboprop crashed shortly after takeoff in 2015, there were renewed calls to close the airport and centralize all flights in Taoyuan by 2020.
