Changi Airport Terminal 2 to reopen fully in October, months ahead of schedule

The northern wing of Changi Airport Terminal 2 will reopen in October, several months ahead of schedule. This will complete the terminal’s reopening, and take T2’s handling capacity to 28m passengers a year, up from 23m before the terminal was closed in May 2020 for upgrading amid the Covid-19 pandemic. Changi Airport’s total handling capacity will increase to 90m passengers a year, up from 85m. It currently has a capacity of around 70m passengers annually. Announcing the development on Wednesday at the 2023 Changi Airline Awards ceremony held at the Shangri-La hotel, Transport Minister S. Iswaran said travellers can look forward to new amenities and innovative retail and food and beverage offerings at the refreshed northern wing. “These additions will further enhance the distinctive Changi travel experience,” he said. Iswaran added: “As we rebuild to pre-Covid-19 traffic volumes, we are working hard to ensure that Changi has both the physical and operational capacity to support the increase in flights and passengers.”<br/>
