Singapore to double Changi Airport capacity over the next decade

T4 to be built by 2017.

According to a report by Bloomberg, Singapore plans to almost double the capacity of its airport over the next decade with two terminals as the economic growth in the Asia-Pacific region makes it more affordable for people to travel by air.

Changi airport, Asia’s second-busiest for international travel, is expected to handle about 5 percent more passengers each year through the next decade, Singapore’s Transport Minister Lui Tuck Yew said yesterday.

A fourth terminal, which will be built by 2017 at a cost of S$1.28 billion ($1 billion), will handle 16 million passengers annually. A fifth will be added in the middle of the next decade to handle 50 million travelers, he said.

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.
