The Government of Singapore will invest SDG1 billion over the next five years to enhance Changi’s air hub, separate from the S$5 billion top-up in Budget 2025 for the Changi Airport Development Fund. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will use the funds to improve connectivity, infrastructure, technology, and workforce development. By the mid-2030s, Singapore aims to expand air links from 160 to over 200 cities, alongside Changi Airport’s planned Terminal 5, which will boost capacity by over 50 per cent.
To strengthen its cargo hub, Sats will invest SDG100 million in upgrading terminals at the Changi Airfreight Centre, increasing capacity by 30 per cent to three million tonnes annually. Additionally, CAAS and Changi Airport Group will introduce a digital truck dock slot pre-booking system later this year to cut truck dwell time by a third.
