its a relieve and good to know that the new budget T4 will now have aerobridges as initially when they announce the new T4, it was without aerobridges - and I did write in to CAAS then and now good to know now they have incorporated the aerobridges in. Its also will help prevent some delays due inclement weather and especially nowadays with the weather changes we see more rainfall at this current period.

Originally posted by CarbonMan View PostAnd that is exactly what the LCCs have demanded, even before the original Budget Terminal was built. Hence the design, IMO, has been driven by the twin-objective of maximising revenues (more shops) and minimizing costs (large pax traffic, smaller footprint). I would assume the true LCCs will use the remote parking bays more often than the pretend-LCCs.
T4 will have the passport control at one end of the building, furthest from most gates. The idea is to force people to walk past as many shops as possible.
It won't be like T1,2,3 where you have an option of turning right or left after the immigration. In T4, everyone walks past every shop towards the gates.

Originally posted by SQueeze View PostThe whole design, to me, is bland. It will be comfortable but i don't think it is memorable architecturally. Changi's emphasis, just like in the other terminals, is indeed on the content and not the looks. Making money is definitely more of a priority rather than an architectural statement.

However, I like the way they intend to plant trees at the upper deck of the taxi holding area. Very kind of them to remember to give the drivers some shade.

of course its obvious that Changi is the only main commercial airport and Seletar as a small general aviation airport for private operators and some for general maintenance centre. What I meant is that for a small island state, there are 5 airfields(incl military airbases).

Originally posted by flyguy View Postat this time SIN actually have 5 airports and if includes the Changi naval base and its adjoining runway then its 6 - but the 5 are Changi, Paya Lebar (till after 2030), Seletar, Tengah and Sembawang airbase.
