Construction of Changi Airport Terminal 5 begins, slated to open mid-2030s
Changi Airport's Terminal 5 will be able to handle about 50 million passengers a year when it opens in the mid-2030s. This is more than half of the current capacity of the existing four terminals. T5 will be built in phases as travel demand grows, with the Asia-Pacific region set to be one of the fastest-developing air travel markets. Prime Minister Lawrence Wong says T5 will bring opportunities to Singaporeans, including local businesses. Chen Chuanren, Regional Editor of Air Transport World at the Aviation Week Network, talks about how T5 can turbocharge Singapore's airhub status and how Changi Airport compares to other airports in the region.
