Gateway to the Penghu Archipelago in the Taiwan Strait.

Opened
1935
Location
Magong, Taiwan
Penghu Magong Airport (IATA: MZG, ICAO: RCQC) is the primary commercial airport serving the Penghu Islands, an archipelago located in the Taiwan Strait between Taiwan and China. Administered by the Civil Aeronautics Administration of Taiwan, it provides essential air links connecting the islands to the Taiwanese mainland. The airport serves a relatively small but consistent passenger base, driven largely by tourism, as Penghu is a popular destination known for its coral reefs, wind-powered landscapes, and distinctive local culture. Traffic peaks during the summer tourist season and declines significantly in winter due to strong monsoon winds. Due to its island location and the lack of practical sea transport alternatives for time-sensitive travel, the airport plays a critical role in the daily connectivity and economic vitality of the Penghu County.
Terminals
The airport operates a single passenger terminal handling domestic and limited cross-strait charter flights.
Getting to & from
Taxis and public buses provide ground transportation between the airport and Magong city center, which is a short distance away.
Airlines here
Uni Air and Mandarin Airlines are the primary carriers operating scheduled domestic routes to Taipei, Kaohsiung, and Taichung.
