International Air Transport Association objects to pre-funding for Changi Airport's future Terminal 5
http://www.straitstimes.com/singapo...funding-for-changi-airports-future-terminal-5
Governments and airports should not expect users to pre-fund expansion projects, said the chief of a global airline body, when asked about plans by Singapore to likely do this for the future Terminal 5 at Changi Airport.
Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of the Singapore Airshow Aviation Leadership Summit 2018, chief executive officer and director-general of the International Air Transport Association, Mr Alexandre de Juniac, said: "We have mentioned many times that we are not in favour of pre-funding. We have a permanent dialogue with Singapore on this and we will keep reiterating and repeating this."
In January, The Straits Times reported that passengers flying out of Changi may soon have to pay between $10 and $15 extra, as part of a new tax being mooted to help pay for a major airport expansion, involving the building of T5.
