Singapore’s Changi Airport will invest tens of billions of Singapore dollars in building a fifth terminal, which will incorporate advanced systems to improve operational efficiency and passenger experience.
The terminal will also enhance carbon reduction efforts and climate resilience, including infrastructure to support alternative aircraft fuels and systems designed to cope with heavy rainfall, such as upgraded drainage and runways.

Following a post-COVID surge in passenger traffic that broke new records, Changi Airport is resuming its Terminal 5 project after a two-year delay. The airport operator, Changi Airport Group, held a groundbreaking ceremony on the 14th, projecting that the completed terminal will increase total passenger capacity to 140 million annually — a 55% increase from current levels.
