The T2 Connection will come with a new automated people-mover system, similar to today’s Skytrain.
The T2 Connection will link T5 with Changi’s existing terminals when the mega terminal opens in the mid-2030s.
New details about this inter-terminal underground link were first reported by Chinese-language daily Lianhe Zaobao on April 14. Plans to dig a series of tunnels to move bags and people between the future T5 and the current airport, which will be separated by surface taxiways and one of the airport’s runways, have been in the works for years now.that CAG already had plans then to build a 9m-wide tunnel for bag transfers for travellers with connecting flights, and tunnels more than 6m wide in each direction for an underground train system between T5 and T2.
He noted, for instance, passengers who may need to arrange their own flight connections at the airport, usually from a full-service airline to a low-cost carrier under two different tickets, or from one low-cost carrier to another. A new 2.6km underground automated people-mover system is being built there, which will operate at a top speed of 80kmh and transport 10,800 passengers per hour. The expanded Hong Kong airport will also get a new underground baggage handling system capable of moving 9,600 bags per hour.Meanwhile, public transport and road connectivity will be an integral part of the supporting infrastructure for T5 as well, said Mr Patel.
