Landing at Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH)
- Airport
- KHH / RCKH
Getting into Kaohsiung
- Kaohsiung Metro Red line from Kaohsiung International Airport station (KHH)
Underground and on the metro
Kaohsiung Metro runs 3 lines. It opened in 2008. The operator does not publish whether the tunnels carry a mobile signal, so we do not claim either way.
Worth knowing about Kaohsiung
- The Kaohsiung Metro Red line runs directly into the airport and continues to both the conventional Taiwan Railway and the high-speed rail stations, so no road transfer is needed for onward travel.
- Kaohsiung is Taiwan's second-busiest airport with 5.8 million passengers in 2024, so its international network is far smaller than Taoyuan's.
- Two of the three Kaohsiung Metro lines are rapid transit (Red and Orange); the third is the Circular light rail, which runs at street level.
