Following the 2019 U.S. transit flight to Taiwan, which allows checked luggage to be exempted from security checks, Taiwan’s Ministry of Transportation plans to include “carry-on luggage” as an exemption from security checks, which will be implemented in the second half of the year at the earliest, and transit passengers are expected to save 30 to 60 minutes. Lin Guoxian, Director of the Civil Aviation Department of the Ministry of Communications, confirmed that there is such a plan, but he will not be able to come to the United States to discuss with the Aviation Police Bureau and other units until the overseas inspection case is approved.
To shorten the transit time, Taiwan’s Ministry of Communications promotes one-stop security. Starting in 2019, checked luggage will be exempted from security checks for transit and transit flights at Taoyuan International Airport from the United States, Canada, and New Zealand.
Lin Guoxian said that in 2019, “checked luggage” in the United States has been exempted from security checks, and it is planned to include “carry-on luggage”. After the Ministry of Transportation agrees to approve the case of going abroad, it will go according to plan. Visit the United States and discuss with the Transportation Security Administration of the US Department of Homeland Security.
