Singapore Changi Airport celebrated the launch of shopping and dining at Terminal 3’s (T3) public area yesterday (31 March). The launch was officiated by Mr Lim Kim Choon, Director-General and Chief Executive Officer, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). T3’s public area features some 60 retail and food and beverage (F&B) outlets over 8,600 sqm – the largest dedicated retail and F&B space in the public areas among Changi Airport’s terminals.
Mr Lim said, “Though an airport is primarily for travellers, many Singaporeans, especially those living in the eastern part of the island, visit the airport to dine and relax on weekends. We hope these visitors will continue to enjoy shopping and dining at Changi Airport, in particular, the unique retail and F&B experience at Terminal 3’s public area.”
T3 is a seven-storey 380,000 sqm building with three basement and four above ground levels. It adds a capacity of 22 million passengers per annum to Changi Airport, bringing the airport’s total annual capability to about 70 million passengers. Changi Airport’s total retail and F&B space amounts to 48,000 sqm with about 230 retail and over 110 food & beverage outlets.
