Government mulls over building mega-passenger terminal in Changi East

It'll be a 1,080-ha project.

Speaking at the Committe of Supply debate on Wednesday, Minister of State Josephine Teo said that the government is exploring the possibility of building a mega-passenger terminal at a 1,080-hectare site in Changi East.

Aside from this, the government is also eyeing to build an airfreight centrem, an air logistics centre, and Maintenance hub to boost Singapore's air transport.

Teo also added that Changi’s Runway 3, currently used by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), will be readied for civilian use as well to prepare for possible increase in demand for departure/ landing slots. Additionally, the new Terminal 4 will feature productivity innovations which will benefit both staff and passengers.

A committe has already been formed to spearhead a holistic plan on the development of Changi airport. 

"MOT, CAAS and the Land Transport Authority will study these issues further and engage the aviation community on the Concept Plan in the months ahead. We aim to finalise the Concept Plan by the end of this year," said Teo.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.


The options 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. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.


So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
