Thursday, November 7, 2024 Changi Airport Group (CAG) is set to invest S$3 billion in a major enhancement program across Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminals 1 to 4 over the next six years. This investment aims to improve critical services like baggage handling, check-in, immigration, and Skytrain connectivity between terminals. Additionally, outdated systems will be replaced to enhance overall efficiency and create a more seamless experience for passengers and airlines alike.
These upgrades will help Changi Airport remain competitive and ready to accommodate growing air travel demand ahead of Terminal 5’s anticipated opening in the mid-2030s. To support these initiatives and address rising operational costs, airport charges will gradually increase from 2025 to 2030. This phased approach also facilitates the recovery of significant investments made during the COVID-19 pandemic, including expansions at Terminal 2 and additional check-in counters in Terminal 3, which had been funded without passenger fee increases at the time.
To assist airlines in adapting to the updated fees, CAG will offer a 50% rebate on the initial increases for landing, parking, and aerobridge (LPA) charges during the first six months. For passengers, the increase in fees is projected to add approximately 1% or less to the cost of an economy ticket for most flights departing or connecting through Singapore. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will collaborate with CAG to closely monitor t.
