The TNN-Tainan Airport was converted to military airbase after the broke out of World War II. The United States Air Force named it Eineisho Airport during the war. From 1957 onwards, the airport was used as military base for United States and the Republic of China and at the same time for commercial transport. Before the inauguration of Taiwan High Speed Rail the airport was the third busiest in Taiwan. Passengers also experienced discomfort with the shared use of the airport by military and civilian since the terminal was far from the airfield and flight would be cancelled if there are military exercises. As of 2011, the airport was considered capable of handling international flights. You can easily drive to the tourists' sites of Cianjhen District and Fungshan District from the airport.
