With global travel coming to a standstill worldwide, Changi Airport has announced that it will temporarily suspend all operations at Terminal 4 (T4) starting May 16.
This includes all flights, which will operate from Terminals 1 (T1) or 3 (T3), as well as shops and restaurants. The affected airlines include Cathay Pacific and Korean Air, which will be operating from T1 in the meantime.
Bus service to T4 will also be suspended.
Although the closure of Terminal 2 that was previously announced received a fixed term of 18 months from May 1, the closure of T4 seems to be indefinite.
“This will depend on when the demand for air travel increases and the requirements of airlines seeking to relaunch flights at Changi airport,” according to a press release from the Changi Airport Group.
For now, essential services companies and food and beverage stores continue to operate in T1, T3 and Jewel, according to the circuit breaker measures implemented.
Changi Airport handled 25,200 passenger movements and 3,870 airplane movements in April this year, a dramatic drop of 5.58 million passenger movements and 31,500 airplane movements in the same period last year.
