隨著交通部修正發布《出境航空旅客機場服務費收費及作業辦法》，本月1日起正式迎來多項攸關民眾出國成本的新制上路。其中備受關注的出境航空旅客機場服務費正式由現行的每人 500 元調漲至 750 元，調整幅度達 50%。此外，部分航空公司也同步針對行李規定與訂位作業進行微調，提醒近期有出國規劃的旅客務必留意相關花費變動。
調漲機制與適用對象說明
交通部表示，此次機場服務費調整採兩階段實施，第一階段自 2026 年 9 月 1 日起至 2028 年 8 月 31 日止，每位出境旅客收費標準由 500 元調高至 750 元；第二階段則預計於 2028 年 9 月 1 日起調高至 1,000 元。此筆費用原則上由各航空公司隨機票代收，已包含在機票總價中。
針對已購買機票之旅客是否需要補繳差額，主管機關與各家航空公司指出，關鍵在於「機票開票日」與「票價內含項目」。若旅客持有未含機場服務費之特殊機票或需辦理退費，相關法規亦明訂旅客得申請全額退還，且航空公司不得收取任何手續費。法定免收對象則維持不變。
旅客出國因應重點提醒：
費用增加： 9 月 1 日起購票或出境之旅客，機場服務費正式計收 750 元。
行李與訂位新規： 各大航空公司近期同步檢視並優化行李託運重量、超重費率及訂位相關條款，建議旅客出發前務必上所搭乘之航空公司官網確認最新規定。
購票預算評估： 暑期過後雖為傳統旅遊淡季，但隨各項規費調整及旅遊成本變動，自由行與團體旅客規畫行程時應將相關附加費用納入預算考量。
機場設施升級與未來展望
交通部指出，調整機場服務費所增加之營收，預期將全數挹注於機場航廈設施升級、智慧化通關設備優化、空側及地勤服務品質提升，藉此強化台灣作為亞太轉運樞紐的競爭力，提供旅客更為安全、舒適且高效的機場體驗。
Taiwan Airport Service Fee Increases to NT$750 Starting September
[TAIPEI] In accordance with the revised Regulations Governing Collection and Operation of Airport Service Charges for Departing Airline Passengers, a series of new regulations affecting outbound travel costs officially take effect today. Notably, the outbound passenger airport service fee has been increased from the previous NT$500 to NT$750, representing a 50% adjustment. Additionally, several airlines have implemented minor updates regarding baggage allowances and booking policies, prompting reminders for travelers with upcoming international itineraries to review potential cost adjustments.
Fee Adjustment Structure and Applicability
Authorities stated that the airport service fee adjustment is being implemented in two phases. The first phase runs from September 1, 2026, through August 31, 2028, during which the fee per departing passenger is set at NT$750. The second phase is scheduled to raise the fee to NT$1,000 starting September 1, 2028. This fee is typically collected by airlines bundled directly into the total ticket price.
Regarding whether passengers who have already purchased tickets are required to pay the price difference, regulatory bodies and airlines note that applicability depends on the ticket issuance date and whether the fare includes the service charge. In cases where passengers hold special tickets excluding the airport service fee or require refunds, regulations explicitly allow for full refunds without any administrative fees charged by airlines. Statutorily exempt passengers remain unaffected.
Key Reminders for Outbound Travelers:
Increased Fees: Tickets purchased or flights departing on or after September 1 are subject to the NT$750 airport service fee.
Baggage & Booking Guidelines: Major airlines have recently reviewed and optimized checked baggage weight limits, excess baggage rates, and booking terms. Travelers are advised to check official airline websites prior to departure.
Travel Budgeting: While post-summer represents a traditional shoulder season, travelers should factor these regulatory and operational updates into their overall travel budget.
Airport Infrastructure Upgrades and Future Outlook
Officials noted that the increased revenue generated from the service fee adjustment will be fully allocated toward airport terminal upgrades, optimized automated clearance facilities, and enhanced ground handling services, thereby strengthening Taiwan’s competitiveness as an Asia-Pacific transit hub and delivering a safer, more efficient airport experience.
