Changi Airport has begun transforming the passenger experience with new contactless and cleaning innovations for a safer, but yet seamless, airport journey. These measures will be rolled out airport-wide in preparation for when air travel into and out of Singapore gradually resumes.
Changi Airport Group has set up new Transit Holding Areas in Terminals 1 and 3 as it prepares for the gradual resumption of transit passenger services through Changi Airport.
