Enhanced Global Connectivity
In 2024, Changi welcomed eight new passenger airlines to the Changi family, including Aero Dili, AirAsia Cambodia, Air Canada, Air Japan, Loong Air, Peach Aviation, Tianjin Airlines and West Air. It also added 11 new passenger city links to its growing network, connecting Singapore to Broome, Brussels, Guiyang, Kertajati, Lhasa, Linyi, Malacca, Phu Quoc, Quanzhou, Vancouver, and Wenzhou, enhancing Changi’s strategic position as a major transit and destination hub.
Enhancing Experiences & Amenities for Indian Travellers
In addition to its lush gardens, unique attractions and relaxing and thoughtful amenities, Changi continues to enhance offerings for Indian travellers, which are a growing visitor group for the airport.
- The Free Singapore Tour offered to passengers with at least 5.5 hours of transit time is a standout complimentary experience available at Changi Airport. Indian travellers are among the top 3 nationalities of travellers who enjoy this 2.5 hour guided tour. Running six times a day, the tours feature refreshed itineraries—including the newly introduced Singapore River and Marina Bay Sands Tour—giving transit passengers an enriching glimpse into Singapore’s vibrant cultural heritage and iconic attractions.
- The Shop & Dine Privileges at Changi Airport continues to be a crowd favourite with Indian travellers, allowing them to redeem up to $20 worth of Changi vouchers, which can be used at dining and retail outlets across the airport’s four terminals.
Changi goes beyond being an airport—it is a destination in itself, delivering hospitality, relaxation, and retail therapy under one roof. Its commitment to enhancing every passenger’s journey, whether in transit or at departure-arrival, makes it a consistent winner on the global aviation stage.
