SINGAPORE — Changi Airport Terminal 2 will resume operations for departure flights on Oct 11, starting with Singapore Airlines (SIA) flights to Malaysia and Thailand.


SIA flights to other Southeast Asian destinations — Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines and Vietnam — will depart from the southern wing of Terminal 2 from Oct 13.

Changi Airport Group (CAG) announced this on Monday (Sept 5) as part of the terminal's phased reopening. Arrival operations had resumed in May after a two-year closure due to upgrading works and the Covid-19 pandemic.


"The commencement of departure operations at T2 will add to Changi’s capacity and spread out passenger operations more evenly across the airport’s terminals as travel demand continues to grow in the lead-up to the year-end travel peak," said CAG in a media release.


Two other airlines — Air India (AI) and Air India Express (IX) — will move to Terminal 2 on Oct 18, said CAG, adding that the list of other airlines using the terminal will be announced later.

Exciting news about Changi Airport Terminal 2 reopening for departures—just in time for the year-end travel rush! It’s great to see operations expanding, especially with Singapore Airlines flights to Malaysia and Thailand leading the way. The phased reopening makes sense to handle growing travel demand smoothly.

I’ve always been impressed by how well Changi adapts to growing travel demands, and with travel ramping up again, this couldn’t come at a better time. I saw someone mention Europe earlier—honestly, I’m hoping for similar updates about long-haul flights too. It’s great to see them spreading operations more evenly across terminals. As someone who often travels business class (save up to 60%, right?), I’m curious how these changes will impact the overall experience. Maybe shorter queues and smoother connections? If anyone has insights about the Terminal 2 upgrades or future plans, I'd love to get more info! I'm just exploring topics like this—it’s been fun reading everyone’s thoughts.
