[Reporter Chen Xinyu/Taipei Report] The third terminal of Taoyuan International Airport will be completed in 2026, but the third terminal will use airlines to distinguish terminals instead of alliances. Today (30th), the China Airlines enterprise union went to the Ministry of Communications to protest, shouting "The arrangement of the third terminal is chaotic, and people go abroad in groups", "The director of the bureau is not professional, and the people are tired from traveling abroad", and demanded that the Ministry of Communications immediately hold a public hearing Yes, Lin Guoxian, who is also the Director of Civil Aviation of the Ministry of Communications, has been criticized for disregarding his professionalism.

China Airlines Enterprise Labor Union and National Aviation Industry Federation of Trade Unions went to the Ministry of Communications this morning to make a statement, requesting the Ministry of Communications to hold a public hearing immediately, stop the terminal allocation plan that will be finalized at the end of the year, and put an end to unprofessional planning in black boxes.

It is rumored that Taoyuan International Airport Company has discussed the allocation of three international airline alliances. The preliminary plan is to assign airlines of the same alliance to the same terminal. The "SkyTeam" affiliated to China Airlines will be assigned to the second terminal, and the "SkyTeam" affiliated to EVA "Star Alliance" is in the second terminal, "oneworld" airlines and low-cost airlines are in the first terminal.

However, Xingyu Airlines has not joined the international airline alliance and also wants to enter the new terminal. Taoji Company intends to switch to route allocation, but this has caused controversy.

A few days ago, Minister of Transportation Wang Guocai said that the allocation will be based on routes, but no final decision has been made. It is only confirmed that the first terminal will be stationed by low-cost airlines.

Huang Huizhen, spokesperson of the China Airlines Enterprise Labor Union, said that the alliance distribution does not need to be divided into alliances, ignores international trends, and is inconvenient for transit passengers.

Liu Huizong, chairman of the China Airlines Labor Union, said that all countries, including Heathrow in the UK, the capital of China, Narita in Japan, and JFK in the US, all adopt one terminal and one alliance, so that operating resources can be concentrated; the convenience should be given priority to the hundreds of thousands of transit passengers every year In 2018, Taoji also planned to adopt this method of distribution, but at the beginning of this year, it turned around on the grounds of "unbalanced airlines", impacting the rights and interests of passengers and staff.

Ma Yiru, supervisor of the China Airlines labor union and airport ground staff, said that the ground staff ran between the first and second terminals for many years and caused foot injuries, worrying that connecting passengers would get lost and unable to complete the trip; There are still passengers who don't know that China Airlines is divided into two terminals and complain repeatedly, but the airline is also forced to disperse the two terminals.
