On an annualised basis, this is about 70 per cent of Changi Airport's annual handling capacity of 90 million passengers across Terminals 1 to 4.\n“We expect it to also further increase, so in 2025 we are very likely to exceed pre-COVID levels,” he added.\nThus, there needs to be preparations for this increase. \nMr Chee said that Changi Airport Group will invest S$3 billion (US$2.2 billion) over the next six years in Changi Airport terminals 1 to 4 to improve services such as package handling, check-in and immigration.\n“These investments will help Changi Airport to stay competitive and to meet rising demand for air travel before Terminal 5 is operational in the mid 2030s,” he said. \nTerminal 5, when operational, will be able to handle an additional 50 million passengers a year. Its construction will begin in 2025.","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":null,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0},"commentList":[],"isCommentEnd":true,"newsSizeData":{"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"favoriteSize":0,"likeStatus":false,"favoriteStatus":false},"APP":{"userAgent":"Mozilla/5.0 AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko; compatible; ClaudeBot/1.0; +claudebot@anthropic.com)","isDev":false,"isTTM":true,"deviceId":"web-server-community-laohu8-v3","version":"4.30.0","shortVersion":"4.30.0","platform":"web","vendor":"web","appName":"ttm","isIOS":false,"isAndroid":false,"isTiger":false,"isTHS":false,"isWeiXin":false,"isWeiXinMini":false,"isWeiBo":false,"isQQ":false,"isBaiduSwan":false,"isBaiduBox":false,"isDingTalk":false,"isToutiao":false,"isOnePlus":false,"isHuaWei":false,"isXiaomi":false,"isXiaomiWebView":false,"isOppo":false,"isVivo":false,"isSamsung":false,"isMobile":false},"href":"/m/news/2501791349"}
