Passenger Terminal Today
Summary
Following a two-year hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, work on the T5 project at Changi Airport in Singapore has resumed – with an updated modular design and enhanced resilience and sustainability.
Construction is expected to commence around 2024, for T5 to be operational around the mid-2030s. The terminal will be located within the 1,080ha Changi East development, which has a similar land area to the current Changi Airport. It will be designed to handle about 50 million passengers per year and have the flexibility to be built in two phases, in line with traffic growth. This additional capacity from T5 is intended to strengthen Changi Airport’s position as an air hub for the region and beyond.
The terminal is intended to be a Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Building as certified by the Building and Construction Authority. To reduce the carbon footprint of T5, solar panels, smart building management systems and district cooling combined with thermal energy storage will be deployed in the terminal building. T5 will also be ready for viable alternative fuels including the use of sustainable aviation fuel, and for the provision of fixed ground power and cooling for aircraft parked at the gates.
