The Changi Airport Group (CAG) has announced this month that it has completed construction of its new Terminal 4 passenger terminal building and is progressing into the next phase with the interior fit out and preparations for operations.

Construction work on the new terminal, located at the southern end of Changi Airport, commenced in early 2014.

 

In addition to the two-storey passenger terminal building, the construction involved the development of two multi-storey car parks providing 1,700 parking spaces, a two-storey taxi holding area, as well as three vehicular and pedestrian bridges spanning across Airport Boulevard to create new channels of access to T4.

CAG added that a 68-metre high ramp control tower has also been constructed to enhance air traffic controllers’ management of aircraft movements in the apron and taxiways around the terminal. Completed in under three years, the T4 project involved over 4,000 workers at the peak of its construction works.

T4 TO OPEN IN 2ND HALF OF 2017

CAG’s Executive Vice President, Air Hub Development, Yam Kum Weng said: “The past three years have been an intense and exciting journey for CAG and our project partners.

 

“We worked closely with the architects and contractors to ensure that the development works were carried out according to plan, and witnessed the transition of our vision from architectural blueprints to fruition.

“We thank all our partners and contractors for their contributions towards the successful completion of the terminal’s construction, while achieving a clean safety record of 26.1m accident-free man hours.

 

For the next phase, we look forward to working with the airport community to prepare the terminal for opening in the second half of 2017.”

Meanwhile, Changi Airport has reported its busiest day ever on December 17, handling a total of 195,000 passengers in a single 24-hour period. The airport is now said to be adding up the numbers to see if this record has subsequently been broken again in the very busy days approaching the end of this month.
