Singapore Airlines begins operations at terminal 3

 Last January 9,  Singapore Airlines was the first carrier to operate from Changi Airport Terminal 3. Operations started close to noon, with SQ 001 being the first flight scheduled to arrive at the new terminal at approximately 1150 hours.

SQ 318, bound for London, was the first flight to depart from Terminal 3 at 1250 hours. Terminal 3 check-in counters were operational from 0900 hours. All passengers departing Singapore for the UK will leave from Terminal 3.

Singapore Airlines will now operate from both Terminals 2 and 3, and the commencement of services from the new terminal marks an expansion of Singapore Airlines operations at Changi Airport.

“The addition of Terminal 3 is another jewel in the crown for Changi as it cements its position as a leading international hub. Singapore Airlines is excited to be part of its growth, and we are confident that the new terminal will complement our operations at Terminal 2,” said Singapore Airlines Senior Vice President Product and Services, Yap Kim Wah.

“Customers will now enjoy the benefits of having access to two world-class terminals – state-of-the-art facilities, modern design, thoughtful service and of course, more choice.

Needless to say, we are extremely honored to be the first airline to start using Terminal 3, and we’re sure our customers are equally looking forward to among the first to enjoy such a world-class facility,” said Mr. Yap.

With the expansion of services, customers departing from Changi Airport will check-in at Terminal 2 or 3 for their flights, depending on their destination.

Flights may arrive at either Terminal 2 or 3, and information on the arrival terminal will be available at least 2 hours prior to the estimated arrival time.
