Changi Airport’s Terminal 4 to Suspend Operations from 16th May

Changi Airport Group (CAG) on Tuesday said that Terminal 4 at Changi Airport will suspend all its operations from coming Saturday (16th May). In a statement, CAG said: "Changi Airport's terminal operations will be consolidated further to optimise resources in tandem with the sharp decline in flight movements because of the global Covid-19 pandemic.” Terminal 4 is the newest terminal at the airport, having opened in October 2017. Commenting on the Terminal 4 closure, Transport Minister Khaw Boon Wan said: "These are trying times for aviation and the Changi community. Great uncertainties remain but we remain optimistic on eventual aviation recovery.” Mr Khaw added that the suspension would also allow upgrading works at Terminal 2 to be sped up, which is expected to be completed by 2024. The operations at Terminal 2 were already suspended earlier as the flight traffic decreased substantially due to cross border controls measures to prevent spread of pandemic. CAG statement added "Even as terminal operations are scaled down during this period, CAG continues to work closely with its airline and airport partners and stands ready to restart operations at Terminal 4 as soon as a sufficient number of flights return to the terminal." Stores and restaurants in Terminal 4 will also be closed and shuttle bus service connecting Terminal 3 and Terminal 4 will also be suspended until operations resume. CAG added food and beverage outlets at Changi Airports other terminals are still open for takeaways, and essential services such as pharmacies are still open to serve airport staff members and the public in the airport's public areas. Though, Skytrain services at Changi Airport have been reduced due to low demand.
