RELOCATION OF SONGSHAN AIRPORT UNLIKELY FOR NEXT DECADE: PROFESSOR|北市再提搬松機 民航局:20年內不可能

The relocation of Taipei Songshan Airport has long been in discussion. On June 8, Taipei Deputy Mayor Charles Lin stated that the relocation would free the sky over Taipei City. Lin Kuo-shian, the Director General of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, responded that more public discussion must be made as the relocation would affect those who rely on the airport to travel back and forth Hualien, Taitung, and outlying islands. Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA) used to be Taiwan's main gateway for destinations overseas. After Taoyuan International Airport was put into operation, TSA only served domestic flights or flights to nearby overseas cities. Now that Taoyuan Airport MRT has been put into service, Taipei City Government believed the relocation of TSA should be considered. ==CHARLES LIN Taipei Deputy Mayor== Taipei City Government believes that if TSA is replaceable, the once main international airport in the 1950s should serve the next purpose: adjusting the cost that's eating into its contributions. Lin stated that the city government would plan for an urban forest park in this area after TSA is relocated. Lin Kuo-shian, the Director General of the Civil Aeronautics Administration, emphasized that the CAA will execute the relocation once a clear policy is formulated. ==LIN KUO-SHIAN Director General, Civil Aeronautics Administration== Each year, 2.8 million trips are made to TSA. These trips are an issue that cannot be solved through a simple discussion. We believe that this is an issue of public policy that can and must be discussed, but it may take a long period of time to communicate the ideas before the final decision can be made. ==CHANG CHIN-OH Professor, Department of Land Economics, National Chengchi University== TSA serves the function for national defense, rescue operations, transportation to outlying islands, and business trips. Relocation is not that easy. It is unlikely at least for the next ten years because Taoyuan Airport's Terminal 3 is still under construction. Professor Chang stated that the relocation will not be possible anytime soon and that no professional evaluation report has been made so far. He believed that the relocation should not be decided by politics. Translated By LUKE CHIANG 松山機場是否要遷移，這個議論討論已久，今天舉行的「2017桃園機場國際論壇」上，台北市副市長林欽榮再提台北市的立場，他認為遷移松山機場可讓台北天空解嚴，而民航局長林國顯表示，必須要考量到1年280萬，往返花東離島的民眾，這是公共政策的議題需要討論。 座落在台北市黃金地段的松山機場，1945年成立，曾是台灣往返國際的重要門戶，隨著桃園機場的啟用，現在除了花東離島的航班外，松山機場只與鄰近的國際城市對飛，再加上國家投入1138.5億元打造的桃園捷運開通後，台北市政府認為，遷移松山機場可讓台北天空解嚴。 ==台北市副市長 林欽榮== 台北市政府的主張是 當有一個可替代性的時候 就必須思考做為一個長期 從1950年代就擔任 國際機場的松山機場 它的下一步應該準備是 它的貢獻之外的成本 要如何去做調節 林欽榮指出，移走松山機場，空出來的土地，北市府會規劃運用，打造成都會所需要的森林公園，而民航局長林國顯會議上認為,就實際面來看，20年內不可能，但林國顯也強調，這個議題討論已久，只要政策明確，民航局都會配合執行。 ==民航局長 林國顯== 1年有280萬的民眾 是從花東離島來台北 這個議題如果沒有辦法解決 大概一時的討論也很難有結果 所以我們是認為說 這是一個公共政策的議題 可以討論 也需要討論 但是在討論定案之前 可能需要花很長的時間溝通 ==政大地政系教授 張金鶚== （松機有)國防需求 有搜救總隊 也有外島交通 商務旅客的需求 所以並不是想說那麼容易的事 同時它也有短時間 至少最近十年內大概都不可能遷移 因為(桃機)第三跑道或者 第三航廈還沒出來 學者直言，松山機場10年內不可能搬遷，而且也尚未看到相關的專業評估報告，並認為松山機場的遷移，不該淪為政治決策，應該由專業來主導。 記者 綜合報導
