Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung said Tuesday that taking “proactive measures” to revive the Changi Air Hub is a “top national priority.”
Efforts to reactivate the center include seeking more green lane deals and negotiating air travel bubbles with countries that have low rates of COVID-19 infection.
However, it is necessary to “manage expectations,” he said in a ministerial statement in Parliament.
“For the members who are hoping that I am about to announce the resumption of air travel and even possible vacation destinations in December, I’m sorry to disappoint you.
“We have been through enough, including a painful circuit breaker, to get to the stable situation we have today. And we must not give that up,” he said.
