In 1997, the Executive Yuan approved the plan to develop Taiwan into an Asia-Pacific Regional Operations Center, confirming the privatization of the air cargo terminal.
In September 1999, the “China Airlines Corporate Alliance”, which offering competitive advantages to the government, was granted the franchise rights to operate the air cargo terminal after three years of preparation.
In December 1999, Taiwan Air Cargo Terminal (TACT) was established, taking over the cargo terminal at Taoyuan (TPE) International Airport and the cargo terminal at Kaohsiung (KHH) International Airport. It became the only operator managing cargo terminals in both north and south Taiwan, and officially commenced operations on January 16, 2000.
In December 2002, TACT initiated an expansion and renovation project at its original site, aiming to establish a modern, fully automated cargo handling system, and to become the largest and most advanced air cargo terminal in Taiwan.

In May 2008, following the devastating earthquake in Sichuan, China Airlines voluntarily transported relief supplies prepared by the Red Cross Society of Taiwan and the Buddhist Tzu Chi Charity Foundation to Sichuan at no cost. As members of the CI Group, TACT, TASCO, and TIAS also provided complimentary warehousing and ground handling services, demonstrating the Group’s commitment to humanitarian support.
Since October 2010, in line with the government’s policy promoting the Northeast Asia Golden Aviation Circle and airlines’ belly load planning at Taipei Songshan Airport (TSA), TACT established a designated TSA transit cargo area at Taoyuan (TPE) to facilitate cargo circulation, expand cargo sources, and increase potential revenue.

In May 2020, due to the severe impact of COVID-19 on Taiwan’s flower exports, the Ministry of Agriculture (MOA) partnered with China Airlines to operate Bccp service to Japan. TACT provided warehousing services for the outbound flowers, supporting flower growers in exporting their products, stabilizing domestic flower sales and growers’ incomes.
In May 2021, during the global COVID-19 pandemic, the first 150,000 doses of Moderna vaccines were transported to Taiwan by China Airlines. TACT fully coordinated with authorities to manage the import and warehousing process, successfully ensuring the vaccines were safely delivered to the government. Till now, TACT continues to provide professional warehousing services for vaccine imports.
In June 2021, medical ‘negative-pressure isolation units’ donated by Japan were transported to Taiwan by China Airlines. TACT fully collaborated with relevant authorities to manage the special import operation, ensuring all equipment was safely delivered to the government. We also sincerely acknowledges the support provided by the Japanese government.
In 2022, in line with China Airlines’ value chain environmental management, TACT issued “Environmental and Energy Policy Statement,” establishing four guiding principles—complying with environmental laws and regulations, conservation the Earth’s resources, improving eco-efficiency, and fulfilling social responsibility—to promote eco-friendly, low-carbon, and sustainable development.
In 2023 & 2024, TACT been granted the “ISO 14064-1:2018 Greenhouse Gas Statement Assurance Report” from KPMG Taiwan (2023) and from DNV (2024), supporting the company’s carbon reduction strategies and carbon neutrality goals, while enhancing internal management, operational efficiency, and ESG competitiveness for sustainable development.
