Taiwan’s Taoyuan International Airport will not proceed with the development of its Terminal 4 project, the Central News Agency (CNA) reports.
The airport’s operator, Taoyuan International Airport Corporation (TIAC), announced last year that it was planning to build a “smart terminal”, to be known as T4, on the site of an existing parking lot.
The terminal, which could have been able to accommodate five million passengers a year on short-haul flights, would have cost around TW$2 billion (US$61 million) to develop.
But CNA reported TIAC as saying that the project will not go ahead, as there are too many construction projects currently underway at the airport and any more work would cause disruption to passengers.
The expansion of T2 is currently under way and scheduled to be completed in 2018, while the construction of T3 will start this summer and is due to be completed by 2020.
TIAC’s vice president, Wen Yung-sung, was reported saying that the T4 project could be taken up again in future.
