Singapore has announced plans to resume work on a fifth terminal at Changi airport.

The 50-million capacity Terminal 5 had been placed on hold in June 2020, following the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and the subsequent downturn in demand for air travel.

But speaking at the Changi Aviation Summit this week, Singapore’s Transport Minister S Iswaran said that “Given the current and projected recovery in air travel demand, we have a renewed impetus to secure our infrastructural capacity for growth”.

“We have taken the opportunity of the two-year hiatus to comprehensively review the T5 design to make it more modular and flexible, and enhance its resilience and sustainability,” said Iswaran.

Construction work is now expected to commence in two or three years time, with a completion date of the middle of the next decade.
