SINGAPORE – A 2.5km-long underground link will be built to connect the future Changi Airport Terminal 5 (T5) with the existing Terminal 2 (T2). It comprises tunnels for an automated people-mover system – similar to today’s Skytrain – and a separate system to handle baggage.

It comprises tunnels for an automated people-mover system – similar to today’s Skytrain – and a separate system to handle baggage.
Earlier in February, construction work for the T2 Connection at Changi East appeared as a new line item in the Government’s projected development expenditure for Budget 2024, with a total project cost exceeding $722 million.
ST reported in 2017 that CAG already had plans then to build a 9m-wide tunnel for bag transfers for travellers with connecting flights, and tunnels more than 6m wide in each direction for an underground train system between T5 and T2. “For this, you need a good transport network within the airport environment,” Mr Patel said. “With changing consumer trends among next-generation travellers, airports will need to be built to accommodate the changing demographics.”
Meanwhile, public transport and road connectivity will be an integral part of the supporting infrastructure for T5 as well, said Mr Patel.
