Shen Boyang talks about the relocation of Songji and raises three major demand problems

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan has proposed relocating Songshan Airport to create an "AI park." Today (14th), Democratic Progressive Party Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang accepted an interview with former China Broadcasting Corporation Chairman Zhao Shaokang and related topics. Shen Boyang believes that the three major needs of national defense, air service, and medical evacuation need to be solved, and there are many hospitals near Songshan Airport, which is one of the conditions that is difficult to replace. Shen Boyang also agreed that the issue of loose machines needs to be discussed, but "the proposer should clearly explain the relevant supporting facilities."

Zhao Shaokang asked, it has been 30 years since the Democratic Progressive Party proposed the relocation of Songshan Airport. Does Shen Boyang support it? In this regard, Shen Boyang explained that now compared to the past, there are more conditions to be overcome. In addition to general passenger needs, Songshan Airport's first priority is national defense, the second is air service, and the third is medical evacuation. The national defense department has military needs, air crews have disaster relief needs, and medical evacuation is a need for outlying islands. There are many hospitals within 10 or 15 minutes of Songshan Airport, which is a difficult condition to replace.

Shen Boyang said that Jiang Wanan mentioned that the third terminal of Taoji should be replaced, but the building and runway design of the third terminal at that time were not to replace Songji. If it were to be mixed, the design would be more troublesome. Moreover, the land of Songji belongs to the Ministry of National Defense and the Ministry of Transport, which is an issue that needs to be discussed with the central government.

Shen Boyang pointed out that he also asked the Executive Yuan whether the Taipei City Government had asked for information, but the answer he received was "no." He thought it was a pity that the policy was suddenly proposed before the election, but now that it has been proposed for discussion, that is also good.

Zhao Shaokang also asked Shen Boyang whether he supported it or not. Shen Boyang also said that he thinks it is necessary to see the alternatives before evaluating them, because Taipei City really needs land.

Zhao Shaokang also said that he thinks there can be a compromise, because disaster relief and evacuation aircraft do not need to be too big, and helicopters may also be able to solve the problem. In the past, large aircraft were needed to cover 300 hectares of land. Later, height restrictions and building restrictions were imposed, which prevented the development of livelihood communities.

Zhao Shaokang pointed out that it may be feasible to use 200 hectares of land in the future and continue to maintain small traffic and emergency flights with 100 hectares.

Shen Boyang also agreed and said that it is worth discussing. "The proposer should clearly explain the relevant supporting facilities."
