The first terminal even experienced a tragic situation of zero entry throughout the day, setting a record for the worst in history in 41 years of operation. The Taiwan authorities' Ministry of Transport has decided to close 20 Taoyuan Airport, more than half of the boarding gates to alleviate the operating pressure of the airport, and will be implemented from noon today (17th).
