Tips for 25 min Connections
Chiayi Airport handles very few flights per day, so there is essentially no true connection traffic to plan around.
If you do need to transit, allow time to exit and re-enter through the single small security checkpoint since there's no dedicated transfer area.
Check flight schedules carefully in advance, as Uni Air's Chiayi-Kinmen service operates only a few times daily.
The terminal has minimal amenities, so bring your own food and drink while waiting between flights.
Ground staff can help rebook or redirect quickly given the low passenger volume and simple layout.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
The entire airport is one small building with a single check-in hall, one security checkpoint, and a handful of gates reachable on foot in under five minutes. There is no airside transfer system, shuttle, or train because the terminal footprint is so compact.
