Changi Airport Terminal 4 to reopen on Sept 13 to ease congestion at other terminals

Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 will reopen on Sept 13, with 16 airlines to relocate to the terminal progressively. This is as demand for travel rebounds, with airport gates at the currently operating Terminals 1, 2 and 3 becoming increasingly congested. Airlines have been demanding an increase in the number of flights in time for October, the start of the traditionally busier period for flights to and from Europe and America. Changi Airport Group on Friday announced the specific date for T4’s reopening, having previously said it would reopen in September. It is set to come before the opening of another quarter of Terminal 2 in October, which means half of T2 will be operational by then. This will return Changi Airport’s handling capacity to its pre-Covid-19 level of 70m passengers per year. “Over the next two months, CAG will conduct various operational readiness trials with the airlines and airport partners to ensure the smooth restart of operations in T4,” said CAG. “With a capacity of 16 million passengers per annum, the reopening of T4 will add to Changi Airport’s capacity, ensuring that the air hub can meet the increasing demand for air travel, and support airlines’ plans to launch more flights.”<br/>
