Changi Terminal 3 will be ready by 9 Jan. 2008 and it will expand Singapore Changi Airport's annual capacity by 20 million passengers to 64 million. The S$1.5 billion ($882 million) project features the new terminal building as well as a new baggage handling facility, an automated people mover connecting the three terminals and 28 new aerobridge gates, of which eight will be able to handle the next generation of large aircraft, the Airbus A380. Changi airport currently serves over 60 airlines that fly to 145 destinations. The new Terminal 3 building was designed by CPG Corporation and will have a gross floor area of 430,000m. Spread over seven levels (of which three will be underground) the terminal will house 28 boarding gates and increase car parking by 1,800 spaces. Following Singapore Airline's decision to be a launch customer for new Airbus A380 aircraft, eight of Terminal 3's 28 gates will have the capability to handle the new super jumbo. Whilst the gates, the baggage handling system and the lounges of the new terminal will all be designed with the A380 in mind. SINGAPORE AIRLINES OPERATES FROM TERMINAL 2 AND TERMINAL 3 FROM 9 JANUARY 2008 Starting 9 January 2008, Singapore Airlines will expand and operate flights out of the new Terminal 3 as well as Terminal 2. This means that when you fly Singapore Airlines, you will depart from either Terminal 2 or Terminal 3, depending on where you are traveling to. Each terminal has its assigned flight destinations.
