Penghu Magong Airport (Magong) is the main air gateway to the Penghu (Pescadores) islands and operates from a single passenger terminal handling domestic and seasonal flights. Passenger volumes are modest and strongly seasonal due to tourism and holiday travel; no large airline hub is based here.

The layout is compact: arrivals and departures are handled in the same terminal building with short walking distances between check-in, security and baggage reclaim.
