FORWARD planning and building ahead of demand is important to ensure that Changi Airport keeps ahead of its rivals, Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Khaw Boon Wan said on Friday, at the official opening of the airport's Terminal 4 (T4).

"But building ahead of demand requires sound judgement. It is not simply 'If you build it, they will come'. The aviation industry is unpredictable, subject to many disruptions, including oil prices and at times, unhelpful governmental interventions," he said.
