About Changi International Airport

Overview

Changi International Airport sits on reclaimed land at the eastern tip of Singapore, roughly 20 kilometers from the city center. It serves as the primary international gateway to the country and a major connecting hub for Southeast Asia. The airport opened in 1981, replacing the older Paya Lebar Airport, which had become constrained by its inland location and limited room for expansion.

Terminals & runways

Changi operates four passenger terminals, each handling a mix of full-service and low-cost carriers, complemented by the Jewel retail and nature complex linking Terminals 1, 2, and 3. The airport has two parallel runways aligned roughly north-south, with a third runway being developed alongside the future Terminal 5. Operations run 24 hours a day, with no nighttime curfew in place.

Airlines

Changi is the global hub of Singapore Airlines and its regional subsidiary Scoot, both of which base the bulk of their fleets here. Jetstar Asia also uses the airport as a focus city. A wide range of international carriers operate to Changi, including major airlines from across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania, and North America.
