Singapore has been gearing up to meet an expected increase in air traffic.
It was previously announced that Changi Airport Terminal 4 will resume operations on Sep 13 after COVID-19 suspended operations for two years.
Work on Changi Airport Terminal 5 will also resume.
UPGRADED TERMINAL 2
At Terminal 2, SIA will be the first airline to use the new check-in rows.
“Automated check-in kiosks will be available for passengers who prefer to self-serve, before dropping off their luggage at the baggage check-in counters. Thereafter, they can proceed to clear immigration via the automated immigration clearance gates,” said CAG.
There will also be various food and beverage options and retail shops in the public and transit areas of the southern wing. These include a number of stores returning to their original locations before the terminal’s upgrading, said CAG.
The terminal’s transit hotel and pay-per-use lounge will be open to departing and transit passengers. Eligible Singapore Airlines customers may use the SilverKris Lounge at the terminal.
“When the northern wing of T2 is fully completed by 2024, passengers can expect even more interesting F&B and retail options, as well as new attractions that will enhance their travel experience through Changi,” said CAG.
It added that it will conduct more operational readiness trials with airline and airport partners to ensure that all systems and processes are in place for a smooth opening of Terminal 2’s southern wing.
“With a refreshed design, upgraded systems and a high degree of automation across the passenger journey, T2 will enable Changi to serve our passengers better as we prepare for a busier year-end holiday peak,” said Mr Tan Lye Teck, CAG’s executive vice president of airport management.
He added that CAG will work closely with airline and airport partners to welcome more passengers at Terminal 2.
