The construction of Terminal 3 at Taoyuan Airport has drawn attention, with netizens hoping that this new terminal will become a beautiful facility for both domestic and international travelers—not only leaving overseas visitors with the best impression but also creating a new hot spot for photos and check-ins. However, the complex design drawings have led to higher construction costs, affecting contractors’ willingness to bid and causing delays in the project.

The construction of Terminal 3 is estimated to involve huge costs and labor.
The design of Terminal 3 was awarded to a British team, with the highlight being the “Cloud Canopy Ceiling” in the departure hall. It features 130,000 flowing aluminum tubes, resembling magnificent, intricate petals, and also serves the functions of noise reduction and reduced lighting needs. The estimated cost is NT$1.7 billion, and maintenance is expected to be quite troublesome.

The high costs and labor involved in the design and construction of Terminal 3, coupled with the impossibility of increasing the budget further, have led to no contractors willing to bid. Currently, the only option is to simplify the design. Taoyuan Airport has communicated with the British team, which has agreed to adjust the design drawings, hoping to minimize the impact on the schedule and achieve the goal of a trial operation in early 2024.

Taoyuan Airport is communicating and coordinating with the original design team to make adjustments, hoping that Terminal 3 can be completed as scheduled.
World-famous and historically significant buildings all require substantial investment and high time costs to build. After the communication and coordination between Taoyuan Airport and the design team, netizens are even more hopeful to see Terminal 3 completed on time and become another beautiful landmark in Taiwan.
