Location will probally not be any better, there is not any large open land near the urban areas. They did what could be done which is build a new terminal (should be open by now, but not sure). What is needed is better links to the airport. In Tainan and Xinchu they added local rail spur links (臺灣鐵路管理局) to to 台灣高鐵, which is default airport for those cities, so maybe they can do the same Taizhoung.
