The topic of relocation of Songshan Airport has spread to the outlying island of Penghu. After Penghu legislator Yang Yao and the candidate for Penghu County mayor regardless of party affiliation voiced their opposition, the Penghu County government stated that it respects Taipei City’s urban development and industrial layout, but Songshan Airport It is also an important transportation hub for residents of Penghu, Kinmen, and Matsu to travel to and from the main island of Taiwan. Songshan is especially located in downtown Taipei and has convenient transportation. It is especially important for patients who need regular medical treatment and long-term treatment, the elderly, and accompanying family members. If the route is changed to Taoyuan, it may increase the traffic time, transfer burden and cost, and affect the basic rights and interests of residents on outlying islands.
The Penghu County Government stated that the relocation of Songshan Airport involves the country's overall aviation policy. It should not be just a choice of moving or not, but should also rethink the allocation of aviation resources in offshore islands. Taipei City's industrial development and transportation rights in offshore islands should not be a binary choice. The central government should prioritize the evaluation of Songshan's retention of core services on domestic routes, the moderate diversion of some international routes, and the phased revitalization of surrounding industrial land. It should also promote the multi-core development of the AI industry through existing technology industry clusters such as Beitou Shilin, Neihu and Nangang. At the same time, Songshan Airport also involves important functions such as national defense, air rescue and emergency medical treatment. The central government should include the functional positioning of Songshan Airport as a "Capital Aviation and Rescue Resilience Base", together with the configuration of national defense, disaster relief and related facilities, into the overall assessment.

The Penghu County Government further proposed the concept of "functional division of the two airports in the north and the diversion of sightseeing flights to outlying islands", advocating: "Songshan retains basic livelihood flights and transportation capacity, and Taoyuan uses the principle of adding sightseeing flights and guides the natural diversion of passengers through 30% off fare incentives. It will reduce the mutual pressure of long-term people's transportation and tourism needs on outlying islands, and also open up a new international gateway for outlying island tourism. "In addition, at the Kinma Peng 3 Outlying Islands Chiefs' Symposium, a proposal to reform outlying island air fares was raised to 50% off for residents of registered outlying islands.
