If you think that travelling out of Singapore from Changi Airport T3 is a dream, well, T5 will be heaven for most wanderlusters. Bet you’ll even want to check in 3-4 hours before your flight to explore all the facilities that will be available. Heck, that amount of time might not even be enough! The terminal might even be privatised!
As the airport puts the final touches for Changi Airport T4 that is set to open next year, they are already thinking of plans to make the next development even more massive than anything they have ever built. Keen to know what’s in store for you? Well, here’s what you can expect!
1. The world’s biggest airport
This will be a game-changer that seals Singapore’s position as a key hub for air travel within Asia and across the world.
2. It will be 10 times the size of Vivo City
And that’s all the shopping mall in Vivo combined – but 10 times larger. Vivo City has been crowned as the largest shopping mall in Singapore, and we are sure that the humongous size of T5 will also mean an increase in shopping and recreational facilities available.
This is how the current floor plan looks like.Â
3. It is stipulated to open in 2026
And also expected to handle up to 50 million passengers in a year. Guess this also means that the tourism industry in Singapore is expected to increase exponentially – definitely a super airport in the making.
4. Underground tunnels and third runway
T5 will also have underground tunnels to transport people and bags through the different terminals. This is expected to cost tens of billions of dollars.
5. You will no longer get lost at the airport
The new concept plan of the airport will also see shortest walking distances for passengers and connection times for transfer passengers, as well as greatest ease of way-finding in the airport. So you won’t have to be afraid of getting lost when getting around the airport!
