Jiang Wanan went to the Executive Yuan to ask someone to accompany him? Zhou Xuansuan: Last time Lu Xiuyan, this time it’s Zhang Shanzheng

Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan proposed the idea of ​​relocating Songshan Airport, sparking discussions from all walks of life. Political worker Zhou Xuan pointed out that Jiang Wanan will attend the Executive Yuan meeting today (15th). The last time Jiang Wanan volunteered to attend the Executive Yuan meeting was on the eve of the July 25 Parade. At that time, he was with Lu Xiuyan. This time, he heard that he would be with Zhang Shanzheng. Every time Jiang Wanan goes to the Executive Yuan, someone must accompany him.

Zhou Xuan posted on Facebook that the Taipei City Government yesterday notified Chiang Wanan that he would attend the Executive Yuan meeting, which reminded him that the last time Chiang Wanan took the initiative to announce his attendance was on the eve of the July 25th parade. At that time, he was accompanied by Taichung Mayor Lu Xiuyan. This time, it is reported that he may attend with Taoyuan Mayor Zhang Shanzheng. Zhou Xuan joked, "It's strange, every time Jiang Wanan goes to the Executive Yuan, someone always has to accompany him."

Zhou Xuan pointed out that Democratic Progressive Party legislator Shen Boyang questioned the Deputy Minister of Transportation Lin Guoxian in the Legislative Yuan yesterday, asking whether the third runway of Taoyuan Airport is to increase Taoyuan Airport's capacity or to replace Songshan Airport. Lin Guoxian responded that the third terminal and the third runway are mainly to increase the service capacity of the peach aircraft. After the completion of the third runway, the second runway will still have to be taken out of service for maintenance. In fact, two runways will be maintained for use.

As for whether flights from the two airports can be integrated, Lin Guoxian explained that Taoyuan Airport mainly uses medium and large jets, while Songshan Airport has smaller, slower aircraft and helicopters such as ATR. The mixed take-off and landing of different speed aircraft types requires widening of the distance, which may affect the airport's operational efficiency and capacity.

Zhou Xuan also quoted Lin Guoxian's answer and pointed out that Songshan Airport had 2.39 million passengers traveling to and from Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu last year, and more than 38,000 people involved in medical evacuation from outlying islands to the Taipei area. The relevant needs must be jointly reviewed by various ministries.

Zhou Xuan bluntly said that the relocation of Songshan Airport will not only affect land development in Taipei City, but also involve national transportation and the medical needs of residents on outlying islands. He questioned whether raising such important political opinions before the election was just an election operation. He also called on Jiang Wanan to fully understand the complexity of relocation through this Executive Yuan meeting, because for some people, this may be a "life-and-death matter."
