Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan and Shen Boyang engaged in a public confrontation over Songshan Airport's transportation capacity and medical evacuation supporting measures.
Taipei Mayor Chiang Wanan believes that the opening of Songshan Airport's third terminal and third runway will be able to accommodate Songshan Airport's traffic. DPP Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyangjin (15) questioned, "It is impossible to use the third runway to replace Songshan's throughput demand. There is the issue of medical evacuation; Jiang Wanan said that the Ministry of Transportation's capacity calculation can accommodate the passenger capacity of Songshan Airport. "If Commissioner Shen is not clear about the relevant passenger capacity, then I do not recommend him to rashly criticize us for not having relevant supporting facilities."
Jiang Wanan was interviewed before attending the Golden Wheel Award Ceremony this afternoon and said that the operating space of helicopters can be reserved for medical evacuation and disaster relief. The entire medical service and the issue of medical evacuation to outlying islands are not only provided by Taipei City. From the current point of view, medical services can also be provided in Taoyuan and New Taipei. Even when there is an emergency, we can also use highways or high-speed rail for emergency transportation of related green channels, etc., which can be discussed and overcome.
Jiang Wanan said that in terms of transportation capacity, when questioned by Legislative Yuan Legislator Hong Mengkai yesterday, Deputy Minister of Transportation Lin Guoxian made it clear that after detailed calculations, the total number of passengers currently transported by Taoji Airport can be about 48 million. In the future, after the third terminal and the third runway are opened, the number can be increased to nearly 60 to 70 million passengers. The overall capacity can definitely accommodate the current Songshan Airport's approximately 5.6 million passengers. "If Commissioner Shen can't figure out the relevant passenger volume, then I don't recommend him to rashly criticize us for not having relevant supporting facilities."
