Changi to put a Jewel in the crown
Singapore’s Changi Airport is set for major development over the next decade as it seeks to maintain its status as the leading regional aviation hub.
Codenamed Project Jewel, the airport will see the development of two more terminals.
Project Jewel, to be constructed on the 3.5-hectare car park site fronting Terminal 1, will include aviation and travel-related facilities, retail outlets and leisure attractions.
T1 will be expanded to allow more space for the arrival hall, baggage claim areas and taxi bays, boosting the facility’s passenger handling capacity to 24 million passenger movements a year.
To be seamlessly connected to Terminals 1, 2 and 3, Project Jewel will serve as a node linking the three terminals, improving inter-terminal connectivity.
Terminal 4 will be constructed on the site of the old Budget Terminal, which closed in September last year.
T4 has a planned capacity of 16 million passengers a year, and construction is set to begin end-2013 and complete in 2017.
Changi Airport Group chief executive, Lee Seow Hiang said: "For tourists, we envisage Project Jewel to be a must-visit attraction, located strategically at the doorstep of one of the world’s busiest air hubs."
Passengers transiting through Changi are a significant component – about 30% – of Singapore’s traffic.
Project Jewel will boost the airport’s handling capacity to 85 million passenger movements a year.
