VIDEO: #Changi Airport to break ground on T5 construction in 2025 The Ministry of Transport, Singapore (MOT), the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) will break ground on the construction of Changi Airport’s Terminal 5 (T5) in the first half of 2025. Lawrence Wong, the Prime Minister of Singapore, made the announcement at the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (#CAAS) 40th Anniversary Dinner. He said, “The International Air Transport Association (IATA) projects that post-#Covid air passenger volume will double by 2040. Countries in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond are making significant investments to expand and improve their airport infrastructure, to capture more of this traffic. "Some have announced plans for mega #airports that can handle more than 100 million passengers a year. They are narrowing the gap with Singapore. So we must continue to sharpen our competitive edge and develop new advantages to set us apart. "The most important thing we are doing for the next leg of our #aviation journey is our investment in T5. We will break ground for the construction of T5 in the first half of next year.” Read more here: https://lnkd.in/eZcn_RsB #Airlines #Passengers #Transportation #Technology #AviationIndustry #AirportDesign #Travel #Technology #PTExpoConf #ukimediaevents

A transformational change is coming to Hobart Airport, a QIC Infrastructure portfolio company, via a $200 million project that will nearly double the terminal's footprint to 23,000 square metres. This major development will help cater for the projected growth in passenger numbers from today's 2.6 million to 5.5 million by 2042, and create up to 450 direct and indirect jobs when construction is in full flight. Once operational, Hobart International Airport anticipates hundreds of new jobs will be required to support the expanded facility. Hobart International Airport is Australia’s ninth largest and one of the country’s fastest growing airports. It is the main gateway for travel to and from #Tasmania. #aviation #infrastructure #infrastructuredevelopment

Airports are progressively embracing technological advancements such as biometrics, artificial intelligence and integrated smart devices. Using the ORAT process to navigate the practical implementation of these technologies, to make sure they work with existing systems or procedures, is a significant opportunity as the ORAT programme already brings together each necessary area. Learn from our experts on how we can help to bring success to airport stakeholders.

ORAT programs help to mitigate risk and complexity when approaching major projects. See how WSP aviation teams around the world can help implement an ORAT strategy that embraces unique airport qualities and provides a roadmap to success. #wearewsp #ORAT  #aviation #airports

Hava read about this most critical of disciplines. Without a great ORAT team, all the super preceding planning, design & construction activities can be somewhat undone.

When introducing newly developed or renovated airport infrastructure, a well-crafted Operational Readiness and Airport Transfer (ORAT) plan can make the difference between a troubled launch and a smooth start on opening day.   Discover how robust ORAT planning can optimise operations, reduce costs, and save time for airport owners and operators, all while contributing to enhanced airport resilience.   #WeAreWSP #Aviation #ORAT #Infrastructure

The evolving landscape of air cargo in the Middle East

✈️🇺🇸 The #US government, through the Federal Aviation Administration (#FAA), invests $970 Million in #AirportUpgrades at 114 airports nationwide to increase #Safety and #Efficiency while creating additional jobs. This significant investment underscores the importance of government endorsement and funding in elevating airport infrastructure. 🏗️ Major projects include $35 million for Washington Dulles International and $40 million for Chicago O'Hare, targeting terminal improvements and expansions. The initiative also aims to accommodate the rising demand for air travel, focusing on projects that streamline passenger flow and improve overall airport utility. #TransportationSecretary #PeteButtigieg emphasized the initiative's role in making airport transit more accessible, creating jobs, and bolstering safety for all stakeholders. https://lnkd.in/eyhrvpjB #AirportFunding #InfrastructureInvestment #AirTravelSafety #EfficiencyBoost
