Singapore Terminal 3 holds open house November 12-December 9

THE CIVIL Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) has invited the public to tour Changi Airport's new Terminal 3 (T3) before next year's commencement of commercial operations.

Visitors will be able to visit Terminal 3 during an open house from November 12 to December 9 from 10am to 5pm weekdays and 9am to 6pm Saturdays and Sundays.

"Through the open house, we hope to provide an opportunity for a first-hand view of the terminal before it opens," said CAAS chief executive Lim Kim Choon.

"The last time Singapore celebrated the opening of a new airport terminal was more than 15 years ago when Terminal 2 started operations in 1990," he said in a CAAS statement.

Visiting the public areas of T3 will be free of charge. Those interested in visiting the transit (restricted) areas may purchase an admission ticket at T3's departure check-in hall. The tickets will cost S$1 (US$0.69) for access or S$3 for a guided tour lasting 45 minutes.
