Changi braces for change

SINGAPORE’S transport department has confirmed plans to reboot the development strategy of Changi Airport’s Terminal 5 (T5) after being halted by the disruption of COVID-19.

The proposed new terminal at one of Asia’s busiest airports is designed to future-proof the hub by ensuring Changi has the capacity and facilities to handle an anticipated rise in demand for air travel to the country.

Boasting a passenger capacity of 50 million people, the massive terminal expansion is now expected to kick off construction in the next two to three years and be ready by the 2030s.

The country’s transport department said it had used the last two years to further enhance the design and make it even more sustainable, as well as make it more flexible in the face of changing travel environments.
