Changi Airport to redevelop former CIP terminal into private travel hub

New facility at Terminal 2 to include private suites, lounges and event spaces by 2027.

Changi Airport Group said it will redevelop the former Commercially Important Persons (CIP) terminal site at Terminal 2 into a new private terminal and lifestyle centre that is expected to open in mid-2027.

In a statement on 15 April, the group said the new private terminal, located at the southern node of Terminal 2 will be jointly operated by Changi Airport Group and Plaza Premium Group, and will cater to travellers seeking a more personalised airport experience.

It will include a lounge, bar, private suites and bespoke dining options, as well as a dedicated event space for private gatherings, the report announced.

Changi Airport Group said the expanded Hub & Spoke area linked to the terminal will include additional dining concepts, wellness facilities, and pet-friendly spaces.

It will also feature Changi Airport’s first covered amphitheatre and an open-air plaza designed for events.

Ang Siew Min, senior vice-president of airport operations development and airport operations services at Changi Airport Group, said the redevelopment responds to changing traveller preferences.

“Some of today’s travellers seek more than just a comfortable place to spend time before their flight – they are after a personalised premium experience,” he said.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
