CHANGI International Airport’s Terminal 1 will undergo an additional round of upgrades, just as the paint begins to dry on its four-year US$390m revamp.
According to a report in The Straits Times, the arrival hall on the first floor will be expanded to raise the terminal’s capacity from 21 million to 24 million passengers per annum. Dedicated facilities to support fly-cruise and fly-coach options will also be added.
The renovations are scheduled to begin within 12 months, starting next April.
Changi Terminal 1 recently completed an overhaul that began in May 2008, which added more retail and F&B outlets to the facility.
In 1Q2012, Changi International Airport handled 12.3 million passengers, a 12.9 per cent year-on-year increase. The airport is expected to handle more than 50 million passengers over the course of the year.
