Singapore Changi opens new T3 shopping and dining precinct

Singapore Changi Airport formally opened its new shopping and dining at T3 today.

The launch was officiated by Lim Kim Choon, pictured, director-general and CEO of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS). T3's public area features some 60 retail and food and beverage outlets over 8600 sqm – the largest dedicated retail and F&B space in the public areas among Changi Airport's terminals.

The extensive shopping and dining zones at T3's public area means visitors to the airport need not be travellers to enjoy the shopping and dining experience at the new terminal. Shopping and dining outlets are located at two dedicated areas, namely "B2 Mall @ T3" located at Basement 2 and "3-Top" on Levels 3 and 4.
Visitors can also enjoy late night shopping and dining every night as the retail outlets are open till 11pm daily, while some dining outlets are open 24-hours.

Said Lim: "Though an airport is primarily for travellers, many Singaporeans, especially those living in the eastern part of the island, visit the airport to dine and relax on weekends. We hope these visitors will continue to enjoy shopping and dining at Changi Airport, in particular, the unique retail and F&B experience at Terminal 3's public area."

In conjunction with the launch, a shopping promotion will run exclusively in the public areas of T3 from 1 to 30 April. During this promotion, 30 people will win an all-expenses paid trip to the Beijing Olympics.

T3 is a seven-storey 380,000 sqm building with three basement and four above ground levels. It adds a capacity of 22 million passengers per annum to Changi Airport, bringing the airport's total annual capability to about 70 million passengers. Changi Airport's total retail and F&B space amounts to 48,000 sqm with about 230 retail and over 110 food & beverage outlets.
