SINGAPORE. In a boost to concessionaires at Singapore Changi Airport’s new Terminal 3, four more airlines will begin flight operations from the new facility on Wednesday, 26 March.
China Eastern Airlines, Jet Airways, Qatar Airways and United Airlines will join Singapore Airlines and shift their operations from Terminal 1 to Terminal 3.
Singapore Airlines has been operating at Terminal 3 since the terminal began operations on 9 January.
Since February 2008, the four airlines have undergone integrated airport system trials at Terminal 3 involving passenger check-in, baggage handling, staff familiarisation and “live” commercial trial flights to test the actual passenger departure and arrival processes.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has put in place measures to communicate the new operations by these four airlines at Terminal 3. These include the updating of airport directories and signs within the terminal buildings as well as dissemination of circulars to ground transport service providers such as coach and taxi drivers to generate awareness.
In addition, CAAS will also be deploying Customer Service Officers at the three terminals to provide assistance to passengers and airport visitors.
The four airlines operate a total of 148 weekly flights from Singapore to 12 cities: Shanghai, Kunming, Mumbai, Chennai, Delhi, Doha, Jakarta, Atlanta, Chicago, Hong Kong, Tokyo and Washington DC, bringing a total of more than 900 weekly scheduled flights to Terminal 3.
