This study examines the geographic factors and logistics connectivity performance of airport cargo transshipments to enhance cargo competitiveness at Taiwan Taoyuan International (TPE) airport. Flight rights of airport cargo routes, route flight distances, flights scheduled per week, number of flight destinations, and carrier and logistics turnaround times were selected as the study parameters. A total of 111 cargo routes at TPE airport were studied using a DEA model and regression estimations. The results showed that the average operational performance of short haul routes was better than the average operational performance of long haul routes. The average cargo operational performance of the TPE transfer cargo was found to be better than the average cargo operational performance of non-TPE transfer cargo. Route length, city-pair destinations, flight frequency, aircraft payload, and apron capacity were found to be very influential factors in the performance of transshipment development for cargo routes at TPE airport.
