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.
