TSA sits in Taiwan (Republic of China (Taiwan)), whose capital is Taipei. No specific civil-aviation authority label is attached in the current map, so this page avoids inventing one. Country context: Asia, Eastern Asia.
Common country-language signals: Chinese. Currency context: TWD ($). TSA is listed with scheduled service in the airport source snapshot.
TSA is also associated in the airport facts snapshot with Sungshan Airport, 台北松山機場, 臺北松山機場. These labels help catch alternate airport names without creating separate duplicate airport pages.
Secondary airport serving Taipei, Taiwan. This description is used only as identity context; live flight status, terminal assignment, and airport alerts still belong to the official airport or airline source.

Taipei Songshan International Airport is a near sea-level field at 18 ft (5 m), positioned at 25.0672° N, 121.5528° E in the Northern subtropics. The runway snapshot lists 1 runway and a longest runway of 8,547 ft / 2,605 m. The airport clock uses Asia/Taipei (GMT+8, UTC+08:00), so cross-date arrivals should be checked against this zone rather than the airline origin city.
Taipei is the closest retained city-time anchor at 3.1 km. TPE Taoyuan is the closest retained airport alternative at 32 km.
TSA is compared with TPE Taoyuan at 32 km, HUN Hualien City at 116 km, RMQ Taichung (Qingshui) at 130 km, MZG Huxi at 257 km, KHH Kaohsiung (Xiaogang) at 303 km inside the retained Taiwan airport set, which is useful when backup airports share the same country context but differ by city, route network, and clock behavior.
TSA-HUN Hualien City: 116 km, about 59m, +0h. TSA-RMQ Taichung (Qingshui): 130 km, about 1h 0m, +0h. TSA-MZG Huxi: 257 km, about 1h 9m, +0h. These are distance and timezone references, not live flight availability claims.
OurAirports ident RCSS backs the stable code, coordinate, elevation, and timezone record. tsa.gov.tw is attached as the official airport website. en.wikipedia.org is used only as supporting reference context. Snapshot date: 2026-05-25.

OurAirports classifies TSA as a large airport with scheduled service; the airport name and codes identify it as an international gateway for Taipei (Songshan).
TSA (RCSS) is a near sea-level field at 18 ft (5 m) in the subtropics, kept in the curated set for its route, timezone, and market-planning value.
TSA sits in a broader regional network with 4 nearby curated alternatives, so airline choice and connection strategy are part of the planning story here.
TSA's runway record lists 1 runway, with the longest runway at 8,547 ft / 2,605 m and source surfaces recorded as asphalt.
Civil Aeronautics Administration is the clearest operator or management signal we currently have on file for TSA.
These operational notes prefer the structured airport facts snapshot, then fall back to the accepted airport reference at tsa.gov.tw, then blend that with local timezone, route, and city-access data already on this page.
These are the specific situations where this airport page earns its keep: time-zone conversion, city transfer planning, nearby airport backup logic, and source-confidence checks before acting.
TSA uses Asia/Taipei (GMT+8, UTC+08:00). Use this before overnight arrivals, cross-date departures, and same-day connections.
Taipei Songshan International Airport is about 3.1 km from central Taipei (Songshan); build that transfer into arrival and check-in planning.
TPE Taoyuan is the closest retained alternate at 32 km, time difference +0h.
tsa.gov.tw is listed as the official airport website in the airport facts snapshot; live schedules, gates, routes, terminals, and NOTAM-sensitive operations still need official airport or airline verification.
These comparisons place TSA inside the retained airport graph by country, timezone, elevation, and coordinate neighbors. They are deterministic dataset facts, not generated flight claims.
TSA ranks #6 in the curated Taiwan airport set when large airports are listed before medium airports, then sorted by IATA code. The retained country set has 6 airports.
TSA shares Asia/Taipei with HUN Hualien City TW · KHH Kaohsiung (Xiaogang) TW · MZG Huxi TW · RMQ Taichung (Qingshui) TW · TPE Taoyuan TW. This helps separate same-clock airports by city, country, code, and geography.
TSA is 18 ft (5 m). Closest elevation peers in the retained airport set include AEP 18 ft (5 m) (0 ft delta) · EWR 18 ft (5 m) (0 ft delta) · CPH 17 ft (5 m) (1 ft delta) · GRQ 17 ft (5 m) (1 ft delta) · GYE 19 ft (6 m) (1 ft delta).
TSA's nearest retained coordinate neighbors are TPE 32 km +0h · HUN 116 km +0h · RMQ 130 km +0h · MZG 257 km +0h.

Central Taipei (Songshan) is close enough that taxi, ride-hail, and rail or shuttle links are usually the fastest arrival options.
Taipei is the nearest mapped city anchor in the current dataset, which makes it the cleanest companion page when travelers want to switch from airport timing into local city timing.
Taipei Songshan International Airport has 4 nearby indexed airport alternatives, which makes backup departures and diversion logic part of real planning instead of a theoretical edge case.
Airport pages are most useful when they bridge into real city clocks. These city anchors are ranked by distance from TSA, then shown with their own timezone, local time, and time difference from the airport clock.
