The S$3 billion investment will be funded by an increase in airport charges.
There are plans to rejuvenate Terminal 3’s systems and terminal facilities, which will provide an opportunity to elevate the passenger experience there and expand Changi’s retail offerings. SINGAPORE: The addition of Skytrain cars and the upgrading of Terminal 3 are among Changi Airport ’s initiatives to update its infrastructure to meet the rising demand for air travel .
The airport’s traffic has recovered to near pre-pandemic levels, with more than 65 million passengers being handled between October 2023 to September 2024. This is already higher than the 58.9 million passenger movements in 2023, and close to the 68.3 million seen in 2019. The airport currently has 22 train cars, each with a 50-passenger capacity. The new cars will be added by 2026 and will operate until the late 2030s before the entire system is overhauled.
“Over the course of the last 10 years, Changi Airport Group has built Terminal 4, upgraded and expanded Terminals 1 and 2 successively. We are planning to do the same for Terminal 3, which has been operating for nearly 20 years without a major refresh,” said Mr Koh, adding that more details will be provided in the future.
Mr Koh explained that the volume of inter-terminal baggage movement is getting very high, and both systems together will be able to hold 4,000 bags come 2029. Terminal 1’s east and west arrival immigration halls will also be expanded by almost 60 per cent by 2026.
