these are renderings of the currently under construction terminal.




Singapore Changi Airport's Terminal 3 will have a flat but intriguing roof consisting of many skylights allowing natural light into the terminal building. The roof will limit the amount of direct sunlight into the building through the use of louvres suspended above and below the skylights, filling Terminal 3 with diffused, ambient light during the day. At night, artificial light bounced off the ceiling creates a soothing and comfortable environment for passengers. This unique feature of Terminal 3 will also be seen by passengers waiting to collect their bags at the baggage claim hall.




Passengers using Terminal 3 can expect to move around with ease and minimum dependence on signages. This is possible as Terminal 3 will adopt a see-through layout concept, making it easier for travellers to orientate themselves. This is part of the four guiding principles adopted by the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) when designing Terminal 3, namely, clarity, natural lighting, external views and maintainability.

Terminal 3 and its associated works will cost S$1.5 billion. It will add a capacity of 20 million passengers a year, bringing the total capability of Changi Airport to 64 million passengers till the year 2020. When opened in 2006, Terminal 3 will add another 28 aerobridge gates to Changi Airport, with up to eight that will be designed to handle the new generation of large aircraft, the A380.

Preferably there would build it somewhere within walking distance of the MRT Station, cause then the PMS would bring them around the airport, whereas the MRT & Buses & Taxis would bring them out of the airport. Kinda like a Ground Transportation Concept Centre that many other regional airports are adopting.

Does that mean they'll be using the existing terminal for other uses in the future??

Most prob the terminals will just become out-of-bounds areas for security and service vehicles loh. Notice there are often police vehicles in there anyway.

2004 Releases

From Russia, With Love
Seventh Airline To Operate To Changi Airport This Year Offers Direct Link To Moscow

Changi Airport is welcoming its seventh new airline for the year - Transaero Airlines from Russia. Transaero Airlines will fly once a week between Moscow and Singapore. The non-stop service also re-establishes a link between Changi Airport and the capital of Russia. With the arrival of Transaero Airlines, Changi Airport is now served by 73 airlines operating more than 3,600 flights to 172 cities in 54 countries.

Transaero's maiden flight to Singapore today was marked by a ceremony at Changi Airport attended by Mr Alexander Pleshakov, Chairman of Transaero Airlines; Mr Sergey B. Kiselev, Ambassador of the Russian Federation to Singapore; Mr Michael Tay, Ambassador of Singapore to the Russian Federation; and Mr Ho Beng Huat, Acting Director-General, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore.

"CAAS believes in working closely with its airline partners to create a conducive environment for them to grow and develop their business. With today's inaugural, I am confident that CAAS and Transaero will build a close working relationship, which will grow stronger in the years ahead", said Mr Ho.

The Transaero Airlines flight departs Moscow on Saturday and arrives in Singapore on Sunday at 1400 hours. It will depart Singapore on Sunday at 1540 hours and arrive in Moscow the same day.

The new service between Moscow and Changi Airport comes as businessmen on both sides signaled a readiness to step up bilateral business links. On 15 October 2004, Russia's biggest association of small and medium-sized enterprises (representing 25,000 business-owners) signed a memorandum of understanding with the Singapore Business Federation to pave the way for greater co-operation between the business communities in both countries.

Moscow is the capital of Russia and has been described as the most important business and political centre in Russia. Moscow is home to some 11 million people and is a city of famous historical landmarks, including the Kremlin, Red Square and St Basil's Cathedral.

Aside from Transaero Airlines, the airlines that started operations at Changi Airport this year are First Cambodia Airlines, Shandong Airlines, Austrian Airlines, Thai AirAsia, ValuAir and Tiger Airways.

Flights to Russia resumed

SINGAPORE'S air links to Russia were restored on Sunday, when a flight from Transaero Airlines touched down at Changi Airport.

The airline is the seventh new one to fly here this year.

Direct flights between the Republic and Moscow were suspended in March last year when Russian carrier Aeroflot withdrew its operations from Changi.

Transaero, one of Russia's largest airlines, also flies to Hong Kong and Taipei.

Its chairman, Mr Alexander Pleshakov, told reporters on Sunday that the carrier will introduce a flight between Singapore and St Petersburg, Russia's second largest city, some time next year.

It is also looking to increase the frequency of its Singapore-Moscow flights.

With the latest addition, Changi Airport is now served by 73 airlines operating more than 3,600 flights to 172 cities.

It recently retained its ranking as the second cheapest among the 11 airports in Asia, after Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

This was based on figures compiled by the International Air Transport Association, which compared the charges payable for a Boeing 747-400 with a three-hour turnaround.

It costs $3,726 in Changi, but $1,006 in Kuala Lumpur.

Third-ranked Bangkok charges $4,330.

Changi managed to attract 10 new airlines last year, and three the year before.

The new carriers this year include First Cambodia Airlines, Shandong Airlines and Austrian Airlines.

Yeah it has...interestingly the increase was across the board, so the "rankings" end up remaining constant.

Come to think of it, hmmm....yah(potenial threat)......perhaps thats why they are looking into the central bus terminal for the 3 terminal........

It will be something to watch out for, should they decide to build it(is that confirm??).......

Shd be confirmed lah......the sources are quite "reliable"...but then again, you also got "reliable" sources what. :D

Anyway, if the basement is so easy to go in, I can pack a bomb, take a public bus, and when it goes to the terminal, ignite it loh.
