Cathay Pacific First Airline To Confirm Operating At Singapore's Changi T4
Last update: 30/04/2014
SINGAPORE, April 30 (Bernama) -- Changi Airport Group (CAG) and Cathay Pacific Airways announced Wednesday that Cathay Pacific will operate at Changi Airport's newest terminal, Terminal 4 (T4) when it opens in 2017.
Cathay Pacific is the first airline to confirm its move to T4.
"Operating at T4 offers us the perfect opportunity to bring self-service and automated options to more of our passengers, giving them more control over how they want to use their time at the airport," said Cathay Pacific Airways' Southeast Asia general manager, Wilson Yam.
At T4, passengers can choose to arrive earlier to enjoy commercial offerings and facilities in the transit area.
Several of these functions, such as self-check in and self-gate boarding, are currently being trialled at Changi's existing terminals to ensure that implementation at T4 will be a smooth process.
Cathay Pacific's passengers can also look forward to a new and exclusive premium lounge on the second mezzanine level of the new terminal.
At more than 800 square metres, it is larger than the full-service carrier's current lounge at Terminal 1, with views into the apron and runway, offering passengers in the lounge sightings of aircraft take-offs and landings.
T4 is designed to handle 16 million passenger movements per annum, and will be able to support quick aircraft turnaround operations for both full-service and low-cost carriers.
