Following three and a half years of extensive engineering and expansion efforts, Changi Airport Terminal 2 is set to fully reopen in November 2023, with a wide selection of new shops, dining establishments, services, amenities, and more.
At present, a limited number of retailers are already open to the public. Nevertheless, in the weeks ahead, we can anticipate the unveiling of the complete array within Terminal 2.
The expansion project has augmented the terminal's capacity to a grand total of 90 million passengers per year, and introduced an additional 15,500 square metres of space. Notably, automated check-in kiosks and bag drop machines are now available in the new Fast and Seamless Travel (FAST) zone within the departure hall. Furthermore, the immigration halls have two new automated immigration lanes, and automated Special Assistance Lanes have been introduced in both the arrival and departure immigration areas.
Other enhancements include the extension of pre-existing baggage belts, allowing them to accommodate a greater volume of luggage. Furthermore, the terminal now boasts upgraded security features.
The revitalised T2 draws inspiration from elements of nature, cultivating a tranquil and calming atmosphere. The design integrates natural materials into the wall cladding and flooring, complemented by an array of lush columns adorned with a diverse selection of greenery.
Starting in October, Terminal 2 will also host a total of 16 different airlines, including notable carriers such as Lufthansa, Singapore Airlines (serving routes to Southeast Asia, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka), Swiss, Air Japan, All Nippon Airways, Etihad, and Indigo.
New restaurants, shops and amenities at Terminal 2
Terminal 2 is set to introduce a variety of fresh brands, encompassing both local and international offerings. Among these, Swee Choon will make its debut at the terminal, launching their exclusive Hong Kong milk tea gelato crafted in collaboration with popular ice cream café Creamier. Kenangan Coffee, hailing from Indonesia, will be another highlight, featuring their signature Kenangan Latte infused with espresso and gula aren, a natural sweetener. Changee, a premium tea brand, will also mark its inaugural presence at the terminal, offering an extensive variety of special milk and fruit teas.
The terminal will also welcome new additions such as the Korean chain GOPIZZA, the coffeehouse Hudsons, Boost Juice, Dunkin’ Donuts and the traditional bakery Old Seng Choong. Shoppers can indulge in retail therapy with the arrival of luxury Italian jewellery boutique Pomellato. Furthermore, you can look forward to the return of familiar brands like Paris Baguette and Eu Yan Sang.
For travellers seeking to pass the time, Terminal 2 is introducing several new entertainment options. Children can have a blast at the newly designed bear-themed playground, 2 Bears Hideout. There is also a fresh TV lounge equipped with a spacious LED screen, comfy plush seating, and multiple charging points, including convenient wireless charging pods.
