Changi Terminal 4 draws five more airlines, on-track to open by 2017

The main building is over 70% completed.

Five more carriers will operate at Changi Airport Terminal 4 once it opens in 2017, Changi Airport Group said.

The new terminal is also on-track to start operations by 2017, with its main terminal building now over 70% completed. The superstructure is expected to be topped-out before the end of this year.

Five more airlines – AirAsia Berhad, Indonesia AirAsia, Thai AirAsia, Korean Air and Vietnam Airlines – will operate at T4, joining Cathay Pacific.

In total, these six airlines currently operate almost 800 flights every week at Changi Airport and collectively accounted for close to 7 million passenger movements in 2014.

CAG expects a few other airlines to operate at T4 from the start and forecasts between 8 and 10 million passenger movements in the initial period of operations.
