๐น๐ผ Wang'an, Taiwan
Wang'an Airport operates on the small island of Wang'an in Taiwan's Penghu archipelago, serving the local community with limited scheduled air service primarily to Kaohsiung using Dornier 228 aircraft. Construction began in January 1988 and was completed later that year, with the Civil Aeronautics Administration taking management control in May 1991. The single runway 02/20 measures 3,051 feet in length and 76 feet in width, resurfaced in 1996, operating at 114 feet elevation with TWR frequency 118.100 MHz. Daily Air currently operates one flight daily to Kaohsiung, though service schedules may be subject to weather conditions and demand fluctuations. Crosswinds from the Taiwan Strait frequently affect flight operations, requiring pilots to exercise particular caution during approach and departure phases. Ground transportation on the island is limited, with scooter rental being the primary option for visitors, and cash is essential as most island businesses don't accept cards. The airport serves as a vital link for the island's residents, providing access to medical care, education, and supplies from Taiwan's main island. Nearby facilities include Qimei Airport, Penghu Magong Airport, and other regional airports throughout the Taiwan Strait region. Weather conditions can change rapidly due to the maritime environment, affecting flight schedules particularly during typhoon season and winter monsoon periods.
