Singapore’s Changi Airport has fully reopened Terminal 2 following a massive three-and-a-half-year expansion project.
As is to be expected for an airport that was voted the world’s best airport in the 2023 Skytrax Airport Awards, this was not your standard facelift. The original terminal building has grown by around 21,000sq m, meaning more space for additional infrastructure, new systems and of course, more shopping and dining options for the crowds of people that use the airport each day.
The design theme for the expansion was that of nature and one of many new attractions in Terminal 2 is a 14m-high waterfall display. Surrounded by a vertical garden, “The Wonderfall” is located in the departure hall and cascades over megalithic boulders.
“With T2, we sought to enhance the passenger experience, bringing together a modern terminal inspired by nature, with immersive digital experiences, innovative technology, as well as transformative retail and dining concepts that create a sense of place,” said Lye Teck, Changi Airport Group’s Program Director for the Terminal 2 expansion project, in a statement.
