Taiwan's southern dual-use civil and military airport.
Opened
1936
Location
Tainan, Taiwan
Tainan International Airport (IATA: TNN, ICAO: RCNN) is a dual-use civil and military airport located in the Rende District of Tainan City, Taiwan. It serves as both a commercial passenger facility and an active Republic of China Air Force base, officially known as Tainan Air Base.
The airport handles a modest number of domestic and regional international routes, primarily connecting Tainan to destinations such as Kinmen, Makung (Penghu), and select cross-strait or regional charter services. Its dual-use nature means military operations share the runway with commercial flights.
Due to its shared military-civilian status and the proximity of Kaohsiung International Airport to the south, Tainan Airport sees relatively limited commercial traffic. It remains an important facility for southern Taiwan's aviation connectivity and for ROC Air Force operations.
