Preparing for the future

Anticipating and planning for future developments in aviation.

Last updated 20 January 2026

Asia-Pacific is one of the fastest-growing regions in the world, and its growing middle class population will increasingly require more options for air travel. By connecting the world to Asia, especially Southeast Asia, the Changi Air Hub will help Singapore and the region to ride on this wave of growth.

We are investing in the future through the Changi East Development, a 1,080-hectare development, which will comprise the following:

  • Terminal 5 (T5) will strengthen Singapore’s position as a leading air hub for the region and beyond, by ensuring that Changi has the handling capacity to meet rising demand . When completed in the mid-2030s, T5 will be able to serve about 50 million passengers per year, enabling us to reach our target of over 200 city links. T5 will incorporate extensive automation, be designed to be green and sustainable, and be resilient to handle future pandemics more nimbly.

  • The Changi East Industrial Zone will support aviation-related, logistics, and cargo-handling capacity to bolster Changi’s role as a leading air cargo and logistics hub.

  • The Changi East Urban District will be a lifestyle and business hub for Singaporeans and visitors to connect, work and play.

We are also investing in future-proofing Singapore’s Air Navigation Services (ANS) capabilities, through research and development. These advanced capabilities will enable Singapore to continue providing ANS at the highest levels of safety and efficiency, while supporting air traffic growth in the region and international aviation sustainability efforts.
