Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4

Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4 is a newly built passenger terminal building at Singapore Changi Airport.OverviewThe construction of the new Terminal 4 commenced in early 2014 and was completed on 16 December 2016. It is scheduled to officially open on 31 October 2017. Under a new concept of "Fast And Seamless Travel at Changi" (FAST@Changi), it will see options such as self-service check-in; and automated bag drop, immigration clearance and boarding being rolled out extensively in the new building. The new Terminal 4 will be a two-storey, 25-metre-high building with a gross floor area of 225,000 square metres. 17 stands will be available for narrow body aircraft, 4 stands for wide body aircraft. A bridge across Airport Boulevard will be constructed to enable buses and other airside vehicles to move from T4 to the aircraft stands. A new dedicated 68-metre-high Ramp Control Tower was also built to "enhance air traffic controllers' management of aircraft movements in the apron and taxiways around the terminal". When opened, it is expected to be connected to other terminals by complimentary shuttle bus services.Local cultural and heritage items are used to decorate the terminal's interior. The retail space at the 'Heritage Zone' will feature traditional Peranakan shop front facades. Changi Airport Group (CAG) has given out all its 80+ concession contracts to various retail and food and beverage outlets including but not limited to Charles & Keith, Coach & Furla, Gassan Watches, Michael Kors, London Fat Duck, Old Street Bak Kut Teh and Sushi Goshin by Akashi.Concurrent with the development of Terminal 4, major airfield works are also being undertaken to increase the number of aircraft parking stands to support the needs of all airlines operating at Changi. A 38-hectare land plot south of Terminal 3, housing the airport nursery as well as a reservoir, will be converted into an aircraft parking area to house 17 narrow-body and nine wide-body aircraft stands. An overhead vehicular bridge across Airport Boulevard will be constructed to enable buses and other airside vehicles to move from T4 to these aircraft stands. Including new aircraft stands to be constructed at the T4 site, the number of parking stands at Changi Airport will be increased by 24% to more than 180.
