I have heard news that at least Air Asia, Air India and Indian Airlines are going to move their operations to Terminal 2, as Terminal One is getting overcrowded.

...as Terminal One is getting overcrowded.

It is ironic to describe any of Changi's terminals as "overcrowded", but I suppose it is all relative.

I would have hoped that more of SQ's partners may move to Terminal 2, especially those in Star Alliance.

I have not heard about Air Asia. Only heard about the other 2 airlines, Air India Express, Korean Air and Asiana.

Going off topic a little, but didn't Indian Airlines already merge with Air India 2 yrs ago, or was that for the future?

It has been confirmed. Effective 29 March, the following 5 airlines will shift their operations to T2.

Air India
Air India Express
Indian Airlines
Asiana Airlines
Korean Air

Also, with the pullout of Swissport, SATS is going to start low cost ground handling subsidiary to handle the budget carriers. It will start initially to handle Tiger and Cebu Pacific, followed by Jetstar and probably Air Asia in the future.

[huaiwei]

The business all went to SATS? What's CIAS doing?

[boing]

Airasia and Northwest went to CIAS.

Air India and Indian Airlines are already merged but will still operate as separate airlines until further notice. (Like Air France-KLM, Delta-Northwest, Jetstar-Valuair).
