For domestic operations, Songshan Airport said every flight scheduled for October 23 would be canceled. Taiwan's Civil Aviation Administration separately confirmed that all domestic air services across the country would be suspended for the day, based on the latest information provided by Taiwanese airlines.

China Airlines has canceled flights CI223, CI221 and CI222 on October 23, affecting services between Songshan and Tokyo Haneda Airport (HND).

Services to and from South Korea are affected as well, with T'way Air canceling flights TW667 and TW668 on October 23.

Taiwan's Civil Aviation Administration warned that international airline schedules could continue to change because of the typhoon. It has instructed carriers to publish updates on their official websites and notify passengers. Authorities have also been coordinating contingency capacity for passenger movement once conditions permit, although the timing of the recovery will depend on weather and operational arrangements.
Passengers and those meeting arriving travelers should check their airline's official website, app or direct notifications before heading to the airport. Further information is available from Songshan Airport's website and official Facebook page.
