"Singapore's colossal new Changi Airport terminal marks a noteworthy advancement"
Changi Airport, one of the world's busiest airports, is set to expand with the construction of Terminal 5. Located near the Tanah Merah Ferry Terminal, this new terminal will facilitate seamless transitions between air and sea travel, making it a central hub for global connectivity.
The first phase of Terminal 5 is expected to operate by the mid-2030s, with a capacity of up to 50 million passengers annually. This ambitious airport project worldwide aims to establish Changi Airport as one of the long-term central global hubs.

Terminal 5 is designed with a focus on sustainability. It aims to be certified as a "Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Building". One of the largest solar rooftop systems in Singapore, capable of powering about 20,000 four-room apartments for a year, is part of its eco-friendly strategy. An innovative cooling system and the integration of alternative fuels, such as Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), also contribute to its green credentials.
The new terminal will be equipped with extensive automation in processes such as baggage handling, security checks, and passenger movements. An integrated transport hub that combines rail, bus, taxi, and other transport services under one roof will ensure smooth and efficient connections. A central "Integrated Operations Centre" will monitor and control all operations in real-time at Changi Airport Terminal 5.
The Changi East Urban District will be located near Terminal 5, offering a vibrant and sustainable living environment. The terminal will also be directly connected to the city's MRT lines (Thomson-East Coast Line and Cross Island Line), making it easily accessible for travellers.
Terminal 5 is more than just a functional airport; it also intends to be a place for people to meet, including locals. With its focus on sustainability, digitization, and seamless connectivity, Changi Airport Terminal 5 is set to redefine air travel experiences, making it an exciting addition to the aviation world.
