The Ministry of Transport (MOT), the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) and Changi Airport Group (CAG) will break ground on the construction of Changi Airport’s Terminal 5 (T5) in the first half of 2025.

The terminal will be located within the 1,080ha Changi East development, which has a similar land area to the current Changi Airport. T5 will be designed to handle about 50 million passengers per year and have the flexibility to be built in two phases, in line with traffic growth.

To connect T5 to the rest of Singapore, the terminal will have a dedicated ground transportation center where passengers can access rail, bus and other point-to-point transportation services.

The terminal is intended to be a Green Mark Platinum Super Low Energy Building as certified by the Building and Construction Authority. To reduce the carbon footprint of T5, solar panels, smart building management systems and district cooling combined with thermal energy storage will be deployed in the terminal building. T5 will also be ready for viable alternative fuels including the use of sustainable aviation fuel, and for the provision of fixed ground power and cooling for aircraft parked at the gates.

T5 will use technology to automate and digitalize airport operations, to improve the passenger experience and increase manpower productivity.
