Singapore’s Changi International Airport has won just about every award there is in the aviation industry — including the title of world’s best airport for 2025.

Now, Singapore is expanding its national airport, breaking ground this week on a fifth terminal that is due to open in the mid-2030s.

Singapore’s Prime Minister Lawrence Wong led the official groundbreaking ceremony on May 14.

A nation-city of six million people, Singapore has poured all of its commercial aviation resources into its single airport.

While other airports around the world have separate terminals for domestic and international departures, every single flight at Changi is international, which means that passengers can flow freely through all the public sections of the airport.

Yam Kum Weng, CEO of the Changi Group, described the planned terminal as “mega yet cozy,” adding that it would deliver “a personalized, stress-free and positively surprising airport experience.”

The T5 project was originally announced in 2013 and scheduled to break ground in 2020, but was delayed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

However, Covid did more than influence T5’s timing.
