On 8 November, Taipei mayor Jiang Wanan announced a plan to move Songshan Airport in order to create an artificial‑intelligence park, saying he will work with the central government and local stakeholders.
Jiang said the upcoming third terminal at Taoyuan Airport could absorb Songshan’s traffic and that the AI park would link to North Science Park, Nanjing Science Park and South Soft Science Park while offering finance, legal and consumer support; he also noted that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang visited Taipei and indicated a 100‑hectare site would benefit domestic and foreign firms. Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Boyang said the move might be considered if national defence, island transport and medical‑evacuation issues are resolved, and Penghu County government expressed support for AI development but not for moving the airport until transport, medical and rescue rights are guaranteed.
