Changi Airport Group has announced the appointment of the Master Building and Civil Consultants that will provide architectural design and engineering consultancy services for the development of Changi Airport’s Terminal 5.

The new pier is expected to become operational by the end of 2019. It will have eight gates and will be the most sustainable pier at Schiphol.

Oman Air started its operations from the New Muscat International Airport on 20 March, when all incoming and outgoing flights were transferred from the previous terminal to the new airport.

The new terminal features a raft of technologies, including self-service bag drop, automated immigration and robot guides, and boasts a true sense of place.

The new South Gates area, which will be used mainly by Aer Lingus for short-haul flights, has five boarding gates serving nine aircraft parking stands.

By mid-2019, the redeveloped domestic terminal will offer self-service bag drop, enhanced self-service kiosks, and a dedicated Premium Entry.
