Singapore Changi Airport: Asia-Pacific’s Premier Gateway
The Asia-Pacific region is poised for growth in air travel, and Singapore Changi Airport stands ready to partner with airlines to capitalize on this growing demand. Changi Airport’s connectivity, world-class passenger experiences and facilities, and Singapore's appeal as a tourism destination, make it the ideal choice for airlines seeking to expand their presence in the region and beyond.
A Hub Positioned for Growth
With the International Air Transport Association (IATA) forecasting the Asia-Pacific region to spearhead global passenger traffic growth, industry analyses consistently point to the region's pivotal role in the future of aviation. Changi Airport’s strategic location in Southeast Asia allows it to leverage this growth potential and further solidify its position as a leading global aviation hub.
As one of Asia’s most connected international aviation hubs, Changi Airport links Singapore to some 160 cities globally through a network of 100 airlines. In 2024, 13 of Changi Airport’s top 15 routes connect to destinations within the Asia-Pacific region, underscoring our commitment to serving the needs of this fast-growing market. We are witnessing strong year-on-year passenger growth from China and India, demonstrating the increasing demand for travel to and from these key markets.
Investing in the Future: Expanding Capacity and Enhancing Operations
To support the projected growth in passenger volumes, Changi Airport is committed to facilitating this growth by providing the infrastructure and support airlines need for expansion.
The revamped Terminal 2 exemplifies Changi Airport's continued focus on future-forward innovation and elevating the passenger journey. Expansions to travel facilities, including departure, immigration, and baggage claim, are seamlessly integrated with innovative new attractions. The Wonderfall, a mesmerizing digital waterfall, and Dreamscape, an immersive indoor garden with a real-time digital sky, offer unique and memorable experiences.
Other infrastructure upgrades including enhancements to baggage handling, check-in, immigration, and Skytrain systems are also underway. These improvements are aimed at ensuring a more efficient and pleasant travel experience for passengers, while enabling airlines to optimize their operations.
Looking ahead, the Changi East development and upcoming Terminal 5 represents a significant investment in Changi’s long-term capacity. Construction of this state-of-the-art terminal, which will commence this year, will significantly expand Changi’s capacity, allowing us to accommodate future growth and maintain our position as a leading global air hub.
Singapore: A Vibrant Destination
Singapore, a vibrant metropolis and cultural melting pot, offers dynamic experiences for every traveler. Its appeal as a tourist destination plays a crucial role in driving passenger demand.
Iconic attractions like Jewel Changi Airport has transformed the airport experience, making Changi Airport a destination in itself. The stunning Rain Vortex, the world's tallest indoor waterfall cascading through a lush, multi-level indoor garden, has captivated millions of travelers. Beyond its visual appeal, Jewel boasts a diverse range of offerings from aviation facilities, play attractions, as well as retail and dining options, further enhancing its draw.
The city-state continues to introduce new and exciting attractions, further boosting its appeal to travelers. Bird Paradise, Asia's largest bird park, offers an immersive experience for nature lovers with over 3,500 birds from more than 400 species. Recently opened, the Rainforest Wild Asia further showcases the rich biodiversity of Southeast Asian rainforests, featuring a variety of animals in naturalistic habitats. The upcoming Disney Adventure, Asia’s first, will further solidify Singapore’s position as a leading family-friendly destination, with Singapore serving as homeport for Disney Adventure for at least five years.
