Changi Airport Terminal 2 to suspend operations for 18 months amid COVID-19 pandemic

[micromachine]

SINGAPORE: Changi Airport's Terminal 2 will suspend operations for 18 months from May 1, as the COVID-19 outbreak continues to impact the aviation sector, Minister for Transport Khaw Boon Wan announced in Parliament on Monday (Apr 6).

Airlines currently operating at the 30-year-old terminal will be relocated to the airport's other three terminals, Mr Khaw said. Singapore Airlines will consolidate its operations at Terminal 3.

Will Khaw abort the T5 project?

Now will be a good time to do it. Part of economic stimulus.

There is no need for temporary hospitals. Even in the USA where the numbers appear to be high hospitals have more than enough capacity

Hope not just the Jewel but the whole of orchard road and all the MRT Malls too. That should serve as lesson for our government to manage priority and build more parks and essential items rather than pander to developers to construct large white elephants. Yes, we can have less foreigners as a result. CONVIT-19 has made Singapore Great Again. Next is to kick half of MIW out of the parliament. Perfect time is now!
