Infrastructure of Singapore Changi Airport

At present, Changi Airport has five terminals. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are connected together. Passengers can travel freely to and from the three terminals through automated people mover and the elevated train or on foot. The JetQuay Terminal in Terminal 2 has its own ticket counter and other facilities for business VIPs. The low-cost terminal is located in the south of the airport, and passengers can use the free shuttle bus from Terminal 2. The five terminals have a total area of 65,438+0,045,020 square meters and can handle about 68.7 million passengers every year. When the low-cost terminal was expanded in early 2009, the throughput increased to 73 million passengers.

The five terminals can meet different needs of passengers. The low-cost terminal mainly serves passengers with low consumption power, and the 1, 2 and 3 terminals mainly serve ordinary passengers. As for JetQuay Wharf, it mainly serves high-end passengers.

There are 350 shops and 120 restaurants in the airport, which fully meet the various needs of passengers. There are also rich entertainment facilities in the airport, such as the latest movies shown in the cinema 24 hours a day, the sports experience in the XBOX KINECT room and the wonderful games of XBOX 360/PLAYSTATION 3. 1 Terminal opened in July 198 1. Before the opening of Terminal 2, Terminal 1 was the only terminal of Changi Airport. The terminal adopts H-shaped design, making full use of limited space to plan the most boarding bridges. Terminal 1 has been upgraded twice. The first one was completed in 1995, and the expansion of two docks cost1700,000 Singapore dollars. Another investment of S $420 million was made to build the 14 boarding bridge from 1996 to 1999. Today, the area of 1 terminal building has reached 280,020 square meters, and the annual throughput has increased to 2 1 10,000 passengers.

The first stage of the upgrade project is undertaken by Takenaka Public Works Store, a joint-stock company. The construction period is from May 2008 to 20 1 1 year, and about 500 million yuan is invested to renovate the whole terminal building. Terminal 21opened on October 22nd, 1990, 165438. It is the second phase of the airport master plan, bordering the 1 terminal and located in the south of the 1 terminal. With the opening of Terminal 2, elevated trains are also put into operation, and passengers can shuttle between the two terminals. After the opening of Terminal 2, flights of Singapore Airlines and SilkAir, as well as flights of some Southeast Asian airlines such as Malaysia Airlines, Philippine Airlines and Royal Brunei Airlines, moved to Terminal 2. Some airlines, such as Star Alliance members Lufthansa and Air New Zealand, also moved to Terminal 2. Air France also moved to Terminal 2, but later changed back to Terminal 1. Some old users, such as Air Canada, Austrian Airlines and Air New Zealand, operated in Terminal 2 before terminating the Singapore route. In September 2007, United Arab Airlines, which was newly added to Singapore, was the last airline to join Terminal 2, and ANA moved from Terminal 10 to Terminal 2 in June 2008.

Terminal 2 can be divided into four parts according to the apron number. There is a cinema, a burger king and many shops in the terminal building. The decoration in the center of the terminal is an indoor garden. The terminal also has an outdoor roof garden and the world's largest plasma display. The carpet in the terminal building is mainly green, and the waiting room uses LCD screen. You must pass the security check before boarding the plane. Terminal 3 was put into operation on October 9th, 2008/KLOC-0, 65438, which increased the annual passenger throughput of the airport by 22 million passengers. There are 28 boarding bridges in the terminal, 8 of which can handle A380, while some boarding gates of the terminal use the same lounge, which is different from the other two terminals.

Terminal 3 was designed by CPG Group, its roof was designed by SOM Company of the United States, and the interior of the terminal was designed by Woodhead Company. Like airports in the same area, the main structure of the terminal is glass, which is a mixture of "natural" features and "warm" colors to balance the dull feeling of steel and glass. For example, the pillars of the terminal are wrapped in wood, and the floor is mainly beige; There is a 9 19 skylight at the top to let solar energy shine directly into the terminal building; There is a 5-meter-high "green wall" in the terminal building, which contains reptiles and waterfalls, creating a sense of nature and adjusting the indoor temperature. JetQuay Terminal is a modified terminal ⅵ P specially designed to receive foreign dignitaries. Now it has been changed into a business VIP terminal, which can be used by anyone, regardless of terminal, cabin or airline. JetQuay is responsible for ticket inspection, baggage delivery and customs inspection.

Accommodate A380

Singapore Airlines A380 and Northwest Airlines Boeing 747 Singapore Airlines, based at Changi Airport, are open customers of A380, so the project must be completed before June 2007 10 to accommodate this behemoth. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore spent S $60 million to upgrade two terminals and airport infrastructure, including the expansion of the waiting room and jetty, and the extension of the baggage conveyor belt from 70 meters to 90 meters. The airport does these projects because it doesn't want to spend more time on A380, rather than Boeing 747-400 with fewer passengers. On August 6th, 2005, the airport completed the 1 1 boarding bridge specially modified for A380 at a cost of150,000 yuan. The new boarding bridge allows passengers to board the upper deck directly from the waiting rooms, which have also been expanded. In 2008, eight dedicated boarding bridges were built in Terminal 3.
