Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Not Applicable. The airport specified (ICAO: TW-0001) does not exist as a recognized closed facility. This appears to be a case of incorrect data or mistaken identity with the active Penghu Airport (RCQC/MZG).

Reason for Closure

Not Applicable. The location at the specified coordinates (23.517532, 119.583693) shows no evidence of a former airport, and the ICAO code is non-standard. The actual Penghu Airport (RCQC) was never closed.

Current Status

The site at coordinates 23.517532, 119.583693 is an urban and coastal area in Magong, near Shanshui Beach. There is no airport infrastructure at this location. The actual Penghu Airport (RCQC/MZG), located a few kilometers northeast of these coordinates, is fully operational and serves as a busy domestic airport and a Republic of China Air Force (ROCAF) base.

Historical Significance

The identifier TW-0001 and the specified coordinates have no known historical significance as an airport. However, the actual and active Penghu Airport (RCQC/MZG) has major historical importance. It originated as a Japanese military airfield (Makō Airfield) during World War II. After the war, it was taken over by the Republic of China Air Force and developed into a crucial joint military-civilian facility, serving as the primary air transportation hub for the Penghu Islands.

Reopening Prospects

None. As this specific airport facility does not appear to have ever existed, there are no plans or prospects for 'reopening'.
