Changi to Turn Former CIP Site Into Private Terminal and Lifestyle Hub by 2027

The plan positions Changi as a lifestyle destination for premium flyers, serving local residents too.

Overview

  • CAG, which announced Wednesday it has begun redeveloping the former VIP facility at Terminal 2, is building a new private terminal and an expanded amenities cluster set to open in mid-2027.
  • The private terminal will be jointly operated with Plaza Premium Group, a global airport lounge provider.
  • Planned features include a deluxe lounge, bar, private suites, bespoke dining, and a high-end event space for larger entourages and private gatherings.
  • The linked Hub & Spoke area will add new dining, wellness services, pet-friendly facilities, and Changi’s first covered amphitheatre with an open-air plaza for small to mid-size events.
  • The concept emphasizes green, open-air spaces, personalized transfers to boarding gates, and quick access to retail, signaling a wider shift toward experience-led, non-aeronautical revenue at major airports.
