Taipei, May 26 (CNA) The first two phases of work on building a third terminal at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport got off the ground Friday, with the entire project scheduled to be completed in 2020, the airport company said.

The work that began Friday involved the foundation as well as aprons, taxiways and facilities of the new terminal, Taoyuan Airport Corp. (TAC) said.

According to TAC Chairman Tseng Dar-jen, the project is divided into 13 parts, and the other 11 parts will be contracted out soon.

All construction work is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2020, paving the way for operations to begin in mid-2021, Tseng said.

The new terminal is designed to serve up to 45 million passengers per year, more than the combined 32 million capacity of terminals 1 and 2 of Taiwan's main gateway, he said.

According to TAC, more than 40 million passengers passed through the airport in 2016, and that the figure will likely increase as the number of visitors from Southeast and Northeast Asia continues to surge.

Terminal 3 is being built to meet growing demand and relieve congestion in the other two terminals, which opened in 1979 and 2000 respectively, it said.
