Singapore’s Changi Airport set for huge expansion
One of the world’s biggest airports is about to get even bigger. Singapore’s iconic Changi Airport is currently undergoing several expansion projects that will eventually see the airport almost double in size.
Over 55 million passengers passed through Changi Airport in 2015, which is already home to three large terminals. As part of the expansion:
- An additional terminal, Terminal 4 is set to open next year.
- The “Jewel Changi Airport” connector train will debut in 2018.
- A third runway will be completed by 2020.
- Terminal 5, a structure almost as big as all the previous terminals combined will be completed by “mid-2020”.
Choy Da Wen, senior vice president of the project, told Skift, “We are excited about the myriad of possibilities… that this greenfield project brings us, and will definitely be looking at creative ways of how we can elevate the Changi experience further at this new terminal.”
