Changi Terminal 4 to boost passenger capacity by 16 million

Will this help handle the growing traffic at Changi?

The opening of Terminal 4 at the Changi Airport is expected to bring in more capacity for the airport, giving it the boost it needs amidst the growing passenger traffic.

According to RHB, Changi handled 58.7 million passengers last year. In the first five months of this year, passenger volumes have continued to expand, rising 5.3% on a yearly basis.

RHB noted that the new terminal will add another 16 million in passenger capacity per year. More so, the Terminal 5, which is expected to open sometime in 2020 will boost the capacity by another 50 million.

"This is part of efforts to solidify Changi's position as an air hub even as other airports in the region beef up their infrastructure," RHB said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
