Changi Airport Runway 2 to close temporarily

The airport will operate with Runways 1 and 3 starting October 2020.

Changi Airport’s Runway 2 will be closed temporarily for the next phase of infrastructure works for the Changi East project, Changi Airport Group (CAG) announced. The airport will operate using Runway 1 and Runway 3 starting 25 October 2020.

The construction will be done for the completion of Changi Airport’s fifth terminal, the Changi East Industrial Zone and supporting facilities by the early 2030s. It will also operationalise a three-runway system by the mid-2020s.

A longer taxiing time is expected for flights assigned to Runway 3. CAG said that it will work closely with stakeholders including the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, airlines and ground handlers during the transition.
