In 2020, following the establishment of P. League , Super Basketball League team Taoyuan Pauian Archiland splitted the team in two, which one of both joined P. League and rebranded to Taoyuan AirApe.[1] The AirApe became one of the four teams of the inaugural P. League season.

On November 1, 2020, the AirApe was renamed to Taoyuan Pilots, named for Taiwan's international airport in the city.[2] On October 6, 2022, the team added its sponsor's name, Pauian Archiland Construction, now known as the Taoyuan Pauian Pilots.[3]
