Airport Closure Information

Last updated: Jul 26, 2025
Closure Date

Not Applicable. The helipad is operational. Information in some unofficial databases listing this helipad as 'closed' is incorrect. It remains an active and critical facility.

Reason for Closure

Not Applicable. The helipad was never decommissioned and continues to serve its original purpose.

Current Status

The site is a fully operational rooftop helipad located at the Armed Forces Taoyuan General Hospital (國軍桃園總醫院) in Longtan District, Taoyuan. It is maintained in a state of readiness and is used regularly for receiving emergency medical flights. The helipad allows for the rapid transfer of patients, significantly reducing transport time for critical cases.

Historical Significance

The helipad was constructed on the rooftop of a major medical building at the Armed Forces Taoyuan General Hospital. Its sole purpose has always been to facilitate medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) and emergency patient transport. It is a vital piece of infrastructure for the regional emergency medical network, serving both military personnel and civilians. Operations are frequently carried out by Taiwan's National Airborne Service Corps (NASC), which uses helicopters like the UH-60M Black Hawk to transport critically ill or injured patients from remote areas or accident sites directly to the hospital's trauma center.

Reopening Prospects

Not Applicable, as the helipad is not closed.
