Singapore Changi Airport T4 to open in 2H2017, planning for T5 on track

Singapore's Senior Minister of State, Prime Minister's Office, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Transport Josephine Teo said (08-Mar-2017) Singapore Changi Airport terminal 4 will commence operations in 2H2017, commenting: "there is a lot of testing going on". T4 will feature a full suite of self service and automated options for check-in, bag drop, immigration clearance and boarding and will serve as a "test-bed" for terminal 5. T4 will also feature automated baggage screening, sorting and storage; smart cleaning initiatives; and centralised support functions for retail and food and beverage services. T4 automation is expected to deliver manpower savings of up to 10%. Planning for T5 is on track and Changi Airport Group will identify architects for the design "soon". [more - original PR]
