    SINGAPORE is restarting work on Changi Airport’s Terminal 5 (T5) in about 2 to 3 years for it to be ready by the mid-2030s, a move that reflects its growing confidence in earlier recovery of the aviation industry that has been pummelled by the pandemic.

    Minister for Transport S Iswaran made the announcement on the aviation infrastructure construction in his opening address at the inaugural Changi Aviation Summit on Tuesday (May 17), themed Readying for Take–off: A Brighter and Cleaner Tomorrow.

    The city-state stepped on the brakes on the project in May 2020 as it reassessed the trajectory of aviation growth, learned from the pandemic experience, and reviewed the terminal’s design to meet the needs of post-pandemic travel.
