Changi to Reopen T4 in September

(13 June 2022, 14:07 +07)  Changi Airport Group has confirmed that it will reopen Terminal 4 (T4) in September 2022 and commence departure operations in the southern wing of Terminal 2 (T2) in October.

Since the relaxation of travel protocols on 1 April of this year, passenger traffic at Changi Airport has recovered strongly. For the first week of June 2022, passenger traffic at the airport reached 48% of pre-COVID19 levels and airlines have requested to launch more flights for the northern winter season beginning 30 October 2022.

Changi will reopen Terminal 4 in September 2022

Changi will first reopen T4 in September 2022 to handle both departure and arrival flights. Engagement with airlines, airport partners and potential tenants has begun to prepare for this. While some time is needed to sign new leases with concessionaires, it is expected that there will be a small number of retail outlets and F&B options to serve passengers when T4 reopens.

In October, departure operations in the southern wing of T2 will resume, following the commencement of arrival operations on 29 May 2022. Expansion and upgrade works in the northern wing will continue. Passengers arriving via T2 can look forward to brand new stores by The Shilla Duty Free (for beauty products) and Lotte Duty Free (for duty-free wines and spirits) in August and September respectively. In the Arrival Hall, a cluster of up to four F&B concepts will open in October.

It is expected that airlines previously operating at T4 will return to the terminal upon its reopening. The airport is expected to reveal details on airlines operating at T2 in due course.

“The fast rebound in travel demand has given us great encouragement to prepare Changi Airport for the full recovery of passenger volume back to pre-COVID19 levels. The additional capacity offered by T4 and T2 will put Changi Airport in a good position to capture this recovery and support the business and operational needs of airlines,” said Lee Seow Hiang, CAG’s Chief Executive Officer. “To support the travel recovery, our airport partners have been actively recruiting more manpower to fill various positions in the airport, from frontline staff to airside workers. At the same time, we are accelerating efforts to secure more tenants for the two terminals, to better serve our passengers. We are optimistic and excited about the future for Changi Airport and look forward to serving passengers again in our reopened terminals.”
