The Taoyuan International Airport Corporation has admitted that completion of
the airport's third runway has been pushed back from 2030 to 2032.

The airport operator's assistant vice president Bi Jin-ling says the
relocation of residents from a site reserved for the new runway has been
postponed until the end of next year - which has delayed construction.

The planned third runway is located north of the airport's existing site and
began the first phase of construction in September of 2023.

Construction is expected to take at least six years.

According to the airport operator's assistant vice president, 16 temporary
overnight aprons have been planned in the airport's northeast corner to meet
its transport needs and reduce the impact of the construction ..

... and those overnight apron will be reserved for Taiwan-based airlines for
priority use.

Nine of the aprons have been in operation since July, while the remaining
seven are expected to be completed before the Lunar New Years holiday in
February.
