Passengers up at airports on outlying islands
By Shelley Shan / Staff reporter
While the nation’s international airports witnessed a dramatic decline in the number of passengers last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, four airports on outlying islands reported strong growth in passengers, with the number exceeding that recorded in 2019.
Statistics from the Civil Aeronautics Administration showed that four of the eight airports on the nation’s outlying islands recorded strong growth in the number of passengers last year, despite the pandemic.
The four airports were on Orchid Island (Lanyu, 蘭嶼), Nangan (南竿) in Lienchiang County, and Cimei (七美) and Wangan (望安) in Penghu County.
