The third runway, 02R/20L, isn't fully available for commercial use yet. It will be fully available in the late 2020s.

AnonymousAIRPORT CHANGED ???2012-06-18

Wowwww....How this airport has changed from my wonderful memories of it flying the RAF's AVRO Shackleton aircraft out of there from 1957 to 1960.......and the RAF's Handley Page MK4 (VIP) aircraft (the private aircraft of the British Commander-in-Chief Far East - Adm Sir David LUCE) from 1961 to 1964. THREE parallel runways now no less. What a wonderful airport now INDEED. Think the Control Tower is located just about where we used to take our young children swimming on 'Changi Beach'? See my website at: www dot G3LMO dot com Rgds Nev Cooper (Long since retired RAF (VIP) Master Aircrew).

Airport HistoryEst. 1981

Singapore Changi Airport is consistently ranked the world's best airport. Built on reclaimed land, it serves as Asia's premier aviation hub and Singapore Airlines' home base. Famous for its gardens, waterfalls, and the Jewel retail complex.

Changi has been voted World's Best Airport by Skytrax for 12 consecutive years (2013–2024)
The Jewel's Rain Vortex is the world's tallest indoor waterfall at 40 meters
Changi has a 24-hour cinema, swimming pool, and butterfly garden for transit passengers
Singapore's entire land area is smaller than many airport catchment areas, yet Changi serves 100+ countries
Transit passengers can take free city tours of Singapore between connections
