Changi Airport to redevelop former CIP terminal into private travel hub

New facility at Terminal 2 to include private suites, lounges and event spaces by 2027.

Changi Airport Group said it will redevelop the former Commercially Important Persons (CIP) terminal site at Terminal 2 into a new private terminal and lifestyle centre that is expected to open in mid-2027.

In a statement on 15 April, the group said the new private terminal, located at the southern node of Terminal 2 will be jointly operated by Changi Airport Group and Plaza Premium Group, and will cater to travellers seeking a more personalised airport experience.

It will include a lounge, bar, private suites and bespoke dining options, as well as a dedicated event space for private gatherings, the report announced.

Changi Airport Group said the expanded Hub & Spoke area linked to the terminal will include additional dining concepts, wellness facilities, and pet-friendly spaces.

It will also feature Changi Airport’s first covered amphitheatre and an open-air plaza designed for events.

Ang Siew Min, senior vice-president of airport operations development and airport operations services at Changi Airport Group, said the redevelopment responds to changing traveller preferences.

“Some of today’s travellers seek more than just a comfortable place to spend time before their flight – they are after a personalised premium experience,” he said.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
