Changi Airport Terminal 3 Trial Participation

On the very first day of September, grassroots leaders from Eunos went on an excursion to Changi Airport Terminal 3 for a trial participation.

We were guided by Airport staff in a tour of the new Terminal.




After entering the Terminal...





























Natural lighting permeates the interior. In the dark, flourescent tubes would light up automatically.














The Terminal stands 4-storey tall.
1st floor: Arrival Hall
2nd floor: Departure Hall
3rd floor: Food and Beverage
4th floor: Viewing Mall

T3 has lots of glasses, hence one can see one's friend off literally...








Baggages filled with newspapers are used to simulate actual baggages and to test trial the system.

There is an underground pathway for luggages to commute between T2 and T3, for the comfort of baggages.
























Distance from Gate A9 - Gate A21 is approximately 1.2km long.

You can either use the travellator, or skytrain to trave from one end to the other.

(New training ground for 2.4km runners)










A further view of A9-A21













The Arrival Hall as seen from the 2nd floor. This is where passengers await for the collection of their baggages.

They do get the first feel of Singapore as a Garden City.

















Check in...















Isn't that cool to have real trees inside the interior of a building?

(They better not be durain trees haha)













Welcome to Singapore, carved in different languages.

The waiting areas are much larger as the new Terminal is to cater for the larger Airbus planes.














Nice food provided for Trial Participants














Goodbye Terminal 3. We'll be back when you open in year 2008 :)
