An exhibition exploring the vision, design and planning behind Singapore’s upcoming Changi Airport Terminal 5 (T5) has opened to the public, offering visitors an overview of how the airport is preparing for future growth.
Titled T5 In the Making, the immersive exhibition runs from January 6 to March 2026 at Terminal 3’s Arrival Hall and is free to enter. Jointly organised by the Ministry of Transport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Changi Airport Group, the exhibition has attracted strong early interest, with 15,000 visitors registering for tickets since public registration opened on December 15, 2025.
T5 is a central element of Changi Airport’s expansion plans and is expected to significantly increase passenger handling capacity, with the exhibition tracing the role of aviation in Singapore’s development and outlining how the project is intended to support the country’s long-term connectivity and economic needs through its scale, design, operations and sustainability goals.
Visitors move through five themed zones charting Changi Airport’s evolution, including its shift from Paya Lebar to Changi, and an overview of T5’s layout and capacity. Other sections focus on technologies being studied to address manpower constraints, an ageing population and climate change, as well as the broader Changi East development.
Interactive features include AI-based installations that invite visitors to imagine future travel experiences, alongside detailed scale models of T5 and surrounding infrastructure.
The exhibition was officially launched by Jeffrey Siow, acting minister for transport and senior minister of state for finance. The opening event was also attended by Sun Xueling, senior minister of state at the Ministry of Transport and the Ministry of National Development, together with representatives from across the airport community.
