We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Carrier service and weekly frequencies are summarized from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). Where available, on-time and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, and typical fares from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.",

        "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Kaohsiung City?",
        "answer": "Kaohsiung International Airport (KHH) is conveniently located just a few kilometers from the city center. The most efficient and widely used option is the Kaohsiung MRT Red Line, which connects the airport to the city center in about fifteen to twenty minutes, with stations at major hubs like Sanduo Shopping District and Formosa Boulevard. City buses also serve the airport but are slower and less convenient for visitors. Taxis are readily available and offer a quick, comfortable ride to central areas in about ten to fifteen minutes, though they cost more. Ride-share services like Uber operate in Kaohsiung but are less prevalent than taxis. Car rentals are available at the airport but are generally unnecessary for city exploration due to compact geography and excellent public transit. Most travelers use the MRT for its speed, reliability, and affordability."
