Why Fly Private
Taoyuan International Airport is a full hour from downtown Taipei by car, and Taiwan's domestic air connections are limited to a few routes. Songshan's city-center location is a game-changer for private jet travelers — you are essentially landing in the heart of the action. For regional business trips between Taipei, Hong Kong, and Tokyo, the time savings are transformative, allowing multiple meetings across cities in a single day.
Private Jet Experience
Taipei Songshan Airport is one of Asia's most conveniently located — sitting directly in the city center, it eliminates the long Taoyuan Airport transfer entirely. Step off your jet and within ten minutes you can be in a luxury car crossing the Keelung River toward the Xinyi district and Taipei 101. The FBO terminal offers quick customs clearance and a comfortable lounge overlooking the runway and the surrounding mountains.
