Singapore Changi Airport breaks new ground with Jewel

Terminal 1’s passenger handling capacity will increase to 24 million passengers.

Strategically located in the heart of the airport, Jewel Changi Airport is dubbed to be a mixed use complex featuring attractions, retail offerings, a hotel and facilities for airport operations, which will be developed in front of Terminal 1.

The commencement of expansion works for T1 will be carried out alongside the construction of the Jewel complex. The redevelopment of the 3.5 ha site at T1, formerly an open-air car park, allows Changi airport to expand the terminal’s footprint, thus increasing T1’s passenger handling capacity to 24 million passengers per annum.

According to a media release, the complex will house an integrated multi-modal transport lounge offering dedicated services for fly-cruise and fly-coach passengers, such as ticketing, issuance of boarding passes and baggage transfer services.

Adding to the existing recreational spaces at Changi Airport that have been popular with
Singaporeans, the top level of Jewel will feature park space of approximately 13,000sqm in
size, comprising gardens, walking trails, playgrounds and dining outlets.

In addition, Jewel will offer its own hotel with approximately 130 rooms, operated by YOTEL.
