Oral Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat to Parliamentary Question on Changi Airport’s Passenger Arrivals and Terminal Capacity Utilisation Rate for 2024
Mr Ang Wei Neng asked the Minister for Transport
a. what is the number of passengers arriving at Changi Airport in 2024;
b. what are the maximum capacity utilisation rates of Changi Airport Terminals 1 to 4 respectively in 2024; and (c) whether an update can be provided on the construction of Terminal 5 in view of the capacity utilisation rates of the other terminals.
Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:
1. Between January to November 2024, Changi Airport handled about 61 million passengers. On an annualised basis, this is about 70% of Changi Airport’s annual handling capacity of 90 million passengers across Terminals 1 to 4.
2. Terminal 5 will enhance our passenger handling capacity and strengthen Singapore’s status as a leading air hub. The construction of Terminal 5 is on track to begin in the first half of 2025. When Terminal 5 is operational in the mid-2030s, it will be able to handle an additional 50 million passengers a year.
