history
There was originally a small military airfield on the island of Nangan. After the military administration of the Matsu Islands had passed into civilian hands, concrete planning began on December 31, 1997 for the construction of a civilian airport on the island of Nangan. Construction work lasted from July 1998 to 2002 and flight operations officially began on January 23, 2003. The total cost of construction was NT $ 2.276 billion (approximately € 60-70 million). After opening, the airport was frequented by an average of 150,000 to 200,000 passengers per year and largely replaced the previous connections by ship to the island of Taiwan .
