Talk:Taoyuan International Airport

message: When listing the name of the airport for airline destinations, what is the best designation to use? Bucs2004 01:46, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree, although I would think that Taipei- Taiwan-Taoyuan Int'l might be the most clear, although inelegant. Aep 08:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Taiwan-Taoyuan International? What happened to Taipei? I would suggest Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan, leaving out the Intl part, as with EZE vs AEP, NRT vs HND. Elektrik Blue 82 14:38, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Be careful in this, for I understand various political factions are calling for different names, with "Taipei CKS" amongst them. Including "Taipei" in the above name may actually be interpreted as taking a political stance...--Huaiwei 15:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks. If that's the case, let me clarify. I only suggested the above suggestion, due to the non-partisan reason that TPE airport serves primarily the city named Taipei, and that it has been renamed, so I just took the first two words to disambiguate from the other airport, namely, TSA. Elektrik Blue 82 17:34, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks Everyone! So don't use Taipei-Chiang Kai Shek. Okay, i can live with that. I just think to still use the CKS name eventhough the name of the airport has changed. You can go ahead and change it if you like. Bucs2004 20:42, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: "Taipei-Chiang Kai Shek" or "Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan"

message: There has been a few anon editors (ie those in the Singapore-Changi article) over the use of Taipei "Taiwan"-Taoyuan in the list.  What I'm suggesting is that should "Taipei-Taoyuan" be used as a neutral term in all airport destination articles, as there is no need to list a country in a airports destination, or just list it as Taipei, as IIRC there is only one airport in Taipei serving international flights from memory (correct if there was another airport serving international flights that i'm not aware of). --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 13:41, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Just listing it as Taipei will not work because Taipei has two airports, TPE and TSA. It doesn't matter if one is international and one is domestic. But yes, some people take issue with Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan so making it Taipei-Taoyuan may satisfy everybody. After all, it is just a disambiguation. Elektrik Blue 82 14:55, 23 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur. Passing through the airport this evening, I heard locals refer to it as TTY airport - and saw signs to that effect (mostly at the bus companies) - much like it used to be listed as "CKS Airport"...just my 2¢ Aep 18:00, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

text: Then you have those saying that there is no need to add "Taiwan" to the name.  One example being here, despite "Taiwan" being in part of the official airport name. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 11:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, this is just for disambiguation purposes. We also do this in disambiguating other airports, such as Buenos Aires-Ezeiza, but the real name is Ministro Pistarini International Airport; Tokyo-Haneda, but the real name is Tokyo International Airport. I don't think it expresses a POV of not wanting to call an airport by its real name. After all, the article of the airport has its real name. Elektrik Blue 82 13:41, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

text: I meant I did not agree to "neutral term in all airport destination articles". Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan as a city & and airport designation, I believe is ok. As a destination as most people know Taipei, and the name of the airport is Taiwan Taoyuan . For example  [], we would call the airport O'Hare. Saying Chicago-O'hare would be fine. I would not want to change every reference of O'Hare to Chicago-O'hare.  Taiwan Taoyuan IS the name of the airport, so Taiwan  should be there. I think maybe the Singapore Changi Airport have not figured out Taiwan is part of the name.  Wenzi 16:28, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  I prefer Taipei-Taoyuan over Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan. First, Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan is a little long; and second, Taipei-Taoyuan is enough to differentiate it from Taipei-Songshan. So I would perfer the shortest term that is enough to differentiate it from the other Taipei airport. Having said that, I don't have strong opinion to how the airport is referred as long as it is clear.--Will74205 20:33, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree. Regardless of the political implications of including Taiwan in the listing, I prefer the shortest listing possible (as with Tokyo-Haneda and Buenos Aires-Ezeiza). DB (talk) 19:45, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

text: I disagree. The name of the airport is Taiwan Taoyuan. To not call an airport by the given name is not NPOV. Should we change all references to Singapore Chiangi(sp?) Airport to just Chiangi airport ? Wenzi 23:06, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: My apologies for bumping this old debate up, but I still think the disambiguity when it comes to cities with more than one Airport should be short and concise.  My view in regards to TPE may have changed since the last discussion, but ATM I couldnt care less whether Taiwan-Taoyuan Airport is referred to as its full name in the desto lists.  But if we had to call an airport by its given name in the so called 'desto lists', you may as well refer to JFK as 'New York - John F Kennedy', or MNL as 'Manila-Ninoy Aquino' considering the Manila disam controversy earlier, and those types of names are far too long. --Arnzy (talk • contribs) 08:17, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

text: With all due respect, its Changi, not Chiangi. Meanwhile, you may be interested to know that we do regularly call the airport as merely "Changi Airport" irregardless of its official name (it was officially called "Changi International Airport" at one time, until the namechange to identify it with the country/city for marketing reasons. Nothing political, thank goodness!), and if there was a need to disamg it in a list should Seletar Airport be expanded to serve scheduled international flights, I doubt there would be much protests to write "Singapore-Changi" and "Singapore-Seletar". "Singapore-Singapore Changi" is quite unweldy.--Huaiwei 06:22, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Taipei-Taiwan Taoyuan" or just "Taipei-Taoyuan" as a neutral term

message: Okay, there are three international airports in ROC, but all of them in the Taiwan Province. So, do we talk about them using the word ROC or Taiwan? (Ambiguity-wise, I vote ROC, as Taiwan can mean Taiwan island.) -Penwhale | Blast the Penwhale 09:30, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually, one of them is in Kaohsiung City, which isn't part of Taiwan Province. I vote for Taiwan, because it's less confusing, and both of the airports are on the island of Taiwan anyways.--Jerrypp772000 00:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  [[Manchester Airport]] 

message: Besides having all the different spellings of its current and previous name, there is a lot of information about other airports in Taiwan. This information is useful, and perhaps could be included elsewhere in the article, but don't need to clutter up the introduction. The introduction should include the name of the airport, when it was opened, and perhaps any other names it's had if those other names were used recently, or are still in common use. Links to Wikipedia articles about the other airports are sufficient for further information. 71.142.101.10 (talk) 05:31, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: The PR usually has that information. Otherwise, I'm not sure where to look it up. Given that airlines aren't grouped by alliances (KE in T1 and NW in T2), it's a random toss-up. Butterfly0fdoom (talk) 19:50, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Reverted a piece of false information

message: The chart of busiest international routes was deleted because there's no reference for the chart. Besides, the chart has various statistics that are rather questionable. For example, the number of passengers traveling between Hong Kong and Taipei is close to the number of passengers traveling between Tokyo and Taipei, however, as a matter of fact, there are hundreds of flights between Hong Kong and Taiwan daily while the number between Tokyo and Taipei is only close to 30. Therefore, it is not possible for the numbers to be this close. Also, cross-strait flight numbers are greatly restricted, it is not possible for either Beijing or Shanghai route to make to the top 5 (The Fuzhou route is especially questionable, with only 2 airlines operating a handful of flights per week, how could it make it to the top 10?). Therefore, in conclusion, the chart should be deleted until the statistics are confirmed by a reliable source.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.245.115.65 (talk) 03:22, 25 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Since I 've found some people do confuse the two airports, talking about "Taipei International Airport" but noting it as "TPE" instead of "TSA", as, I guess, they don't quite understand that the "TPE" one is actually this one. It does cause problem since the two airports distant nearly 2-hours for driving, and the "TPE" is actually NOT located in Taipei City. It is necessary to emphasize the difference between the two.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 114.32.178.208 (talk) 02:34, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
