New passenger terminal to be built at Seletar Airport

A tender has been called for its construction.

A new terminal will be constructed at the eastern side of Seletar Airport, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Changi Airport Group revealed today.

The new terminal will allow Seletar Airport to cope with increased traffic, and will support the airport's offering as a private business aviation gateway.

The terminal will also help manage increased traffic at Changi Airport. When the new terminal becomes operational in end-2018, turboprop aircraft operations will be shifted from Changi Airport to Seletar Airport. The shift will help to free up capacity for jet aircraft operations at Changi Airport.

A tender for the construction of the new terminal has been called yesterday and construction is expected to begin in October this year.
