“The construction of Changi Airport Group Terminal 5 (T5) will start in the first half of 2025, and in the mid-2030s, when the mega terminal is operational, the aim is for Singapore to be linked by air to more than 200 cities, up from almost 150 today, said Prime Minister Lawrence Wong. Speaking at a dinner marking the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) 40th anniversary on Sept 6, PM Wong said Singapore must sharpen its competitive edge amid intensifying competition in the air transport sector. “Countries in our region and beyond are making significant investments to expand and improve their airport infrastructure, to capture more... traffic. Some have announced plans for mega airports that can handle more than 100 million passengers a year. So they are narrowing the gap with Singapore,” PM Wong said at the Shangri-La Singapore hotel. “Many airlines are also rapidly expanding their fleets and networks, including to serve more direct routes. Increasingly, flights that would have passed through Changi may no longer be needed,” he added. “We cannot rest on our laurels,” he told 800 people in the audience, comprising industry leaders, former and current CAAS staff, and senior government officials. PM Wong said Singapore’s airports are already well connected, with close to 150 city links today, but the aim is to grow this further. This will bring more passengers to the Republic and create demand for the broader aviation industry here. PM Wong said the pandemic reinforced the importance of the aviation sector to Singapore, even though there were also worries then about the future of Changi Airport and national carrier Singapore Airlines. “It all feels like a bad dream now... There were moments during (that) period when it seemed like everything was going to fall apart.” But thanks to the efforts by those in the industry, the sector pulled through and is now back up again, with the aviation workforce exceeding pre-pandemic levels and passenger traffic at Changi Airport in the first half of 2024 almost fully recovered.”
