Taoyuan Aerotropolis Infrastructure Project and
Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3 Project
TAIWAN
The Taoyuan Aerotropolis Infrastructure Project, seen as a prime driver of Taiwan’s
future economic development, is one of the biggest and most daring infrastructure
projects ever conceived. It is designed to take full advantage of the island’s
commercially strategic location with the Asia Pacific. The Aerotropolis will be a brand
new city built on more than 4,000 hectares of land surrounding the Taoyuan
International Airport. Dubbed the Gateway of Taiwan and to Asia, the Aerotropolis
will serve as a logistics and trading hub to attract people, capital, goods and
information.
Advantages of Taoyuan
The city Taoyuan is home of Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport and serve sas the
national portal. Taiwan is ideally located in East Asia, being within four hours’ flight
time to almost all major East Asian destinations such as Beijing, Shanghai, Singapore,
Seoul and Tokyo. Taoyuan International Airport has seen steady growth in both
inbound and transiting air passengers, and freight volumes as well. Arriving visitors
will enjoy easy access to all cities with the High Speed Rail system and the new
Airport Metro (MRT) linking Taipei Metropolitan area.
Another advantage is that Taoyuan is home to nearly 30 industrial parks, and is in
close proximity to Hsinchu’s vast high-tech manufacturing centers as well as New
Taipei City’s industrial might. Combined with the nearby Port of Taipei, the
Aerotropolis will be ideally located as a hub for logistics, transshipment, and
time-sensitive manufacturing in the adjacent industrial parks. It is also one of the
designated Free Economic Pilot Zones (FEPZ), allowing it to enjoy liberalized trade,
immigration, and tax regulations to encourage investment and stimulate trade.
Besides, Taoyuan will become the 6th city in Taiwan to have special lmunicipality
status, after Taipei, Kaohsiung, New Taipei (Xinpei), Taichung, and Tainan, leaving 16
second-tier cities on the island. As a special municipality, Taoyuan will gain over NT$8
billion (US$267 million0 of additional income a year in the form of a higher allocation
of tax revenue and subsidies from the central government. That will boost its annual
budget to over NT$70 billion (US$2.33 billIion). Besides, with its population of over 2
million, Taoyuan is now the second highest source of tax revenue in Taiwan, after
Taipei. It has led all other cities and counties in industrial output for the past nine
years.
The Taoyuan Aerotropolis Project

Covering a total area of about 685 square kilometers and involving an estimated
investment of NT$600 billion (US$20 billion), the Taoyuan Aerotropolis project now
under planning is considered Taiwan’s biggest infrastructure project in half a century.
Surrounding and including the existing Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport, the
project calls for the construction of a wide variety of facilities, such as convention
centers, theme parks, hottels, financial centers, and R&D centers, as wll as homes for
300,000 people. A new MRT line will connect the Aerotropolis with Taipei, greatly
increasing travel conveniences, while another line will join the Aerotropolis with the
MRT system being planned for Taoyuan City and Zongli city. At the same time, the
addition of a third runway and third terminal on coastal marsh lands will significantly
upgrade the airport itself. The project is expected to double Taoyuan’s economic
output and expand Taiwan’s overall GDP by 10%.

Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3 Project
http://www.taoyuan-airport.com/english/terminal3
The Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Terminal 3 Project (hereinafter referred to
as T3 project) is one of the major Aerotropolis development projects. Based on
construction scale and investment cost, it is the single largest project since decades.
The "Implementation Plan for Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport Park" drafted by
the Taoyuan Airport Corporation (hereinafter referred to as TAC) was approved by
the Ministry of Transportation and Communications (MOTC) on June 28, 2012. The
T3 project aims to create a world-class passenger terminal in Taiwan, and to provide
the best quality services and passenger experiences.
A consortium of Netherlands Airport Consultants B.V. (NACO), TY Lin International
Taiwan, and Parsons Brinckerhoff International, Inc. was established in the beginning
of 2013. The consortium’s Taiwan Branch has been selected to perform the planning
and project management of the Terminal 3 Area Development. The initial planning
features of T3 Project include:
●Design capacity of 45 million in Terminal 3 are planned to accommodate future
total passenger capacity of 86 million (together with Terminal 1 & 2) in year 2042.
●26 Boarding Gates.
●Efficient taxiway and airside service road design.
●Convenient and clearly-indicated road traffic access.
●Terminal 2 and Terminal 3 are connected by MFB to create a mega terminal
concept.
●A whole new commercial service concept.
●Design guideline based on Smart, Green, and Re-culture concept.
The detailed design tendering process will commence upon approvals by the
competent supervising and financing authorities, Ministry of Transportation and
Communications. The plan is to start the tendering procedure in mid-2015. The
project is slated for design and construction completion within 5 years.
Request for Information (RFI) Seminar
T3 project is currently undergoing review process for its Environment Impact
Assessment (EIA) and the Key Construction Plan. To provide the most updated
status of T3 planning to all interested parties and to facilitate the follow-up design
tendering process, TAC will arrange a Request for Information (RFI) seminar for
