About Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport
Taipei faces Western Pacific typhoons (July-October) regularly. Located in the typhoon corridor between Philippines and Japan.
Is Taipei Taoyuan Airport turbulent?
Taiwan sits directly in the Western Pacific typhoon highway. Typhoon Podul in August 2025 cancelled 250 international flights, and multiple typhoons affect the island each year. Even storms not making direct landfall bring outer rainbands with heavy rain and gusty winds. Taiwan has strict suspension criteria when typhoon conditions approach.
- Typhoon Podul (2025) cancelled 250 international flights
- Operations suspend when wind gusts reach 55+ mph
- Multiple typhoon impacts per year are normal
When does Taiwan suspend flights for typhoons?
Taiwan has clear criteria: operations suspend when the typhoon radius passes within 4 hours, average winds reach 28-33 mph, or gusts exceed 55 mph. Airlines begin cancelling flights 1-2 days before projected impacts. The island's size means most of the country is affected simultaneously, limiting rebooking options.
When should I avoid flying through Taipei?
Typhoon season runs June through October with peak activity July-September. Winter (November-February) and spring (March-May) offer much calmer conditions. The northeast monsoon brings some winter rain but rarely major disruptions. If traveling during typhoon season, book flexible tickets and monitor forecasts.
