Changi Airport has opened its first sensory-friendly space, the Calm Room, designed to support neurodivergent passengers and their caregivers. Located in Terminal 2’s departure transit area, the 200m² facility offers a quiet retreat for travelers who may experience sensory overload or anxiety while flying.
Developed under the airport’s CARE@Changi program, the Calm Room was created in consultation with local welfare groups such as the Asian Women’s Welfare Association (AWWA) and Metta Welfare Association (MWA), as well as families of neurodivergent individuals. Their input shaped a space tailored to a range of sensory needs.
