SINGAPORE - Singapore will restart work on Changi Airport Terminal 5 after a two-year pause, to build up its future capacity as the aviation industry recovers faster than expected from the Covid-19 pandemic.

Transport Minister S Iswaran on Tuesday (May 17) said construction should start in about two to three years and T5 will be ready to operate around the mid 2030s, in time for the anticipated increase in passenger traffic then.
