It was a very exciting visit to the Singapore Changi Airport! The visit was led by the SGC Regional Logistics Committee, and included Changi Airport Group (CAG) providing attendees an overview of the wide array of its business interest and services. CAG not only operates an airport but also invests in other airports worldwide. It also provides commercial spaces to retail operators, amongst others. Furthermore, CAG gave participants an overview of the ecosystem that runs within the airport. These are the close collaborations of border police, ground handling, airlines, cargo, and logistics to make Changi Airport the world-class airport that it is renowned for.
As a global hub, Changi Airport is one of the most well-connected airports in the world, linking to over 130 destinations. Participants of the site visit also learned about the Changi Air Cargo Hub's operations. When Terminal 5 becomes operational, Changi airport is estimated to work-out up to 5.4 million tonnes from its current 3 million tonnes of handling capacity and up to 130 million passengers. Furthermore, the CAG aims to have zero carbon growth by 2030 and will also go all-out in achieving a net zero carbon emission by 2050.
