Airport of the week: Singapore



With the news this week that Singapore wants to not only build a "Jewel" at Changi Airport, but also plans for a T5 which will house an insane number of additional travelers every year, I would like to say a few words about this specific airport.

The Importance of Changi to Singapore:

If you forgot about the importance of Changi, just consider this: how many country leaders include their main airport in their annual address to their respective countries?
Can you imagine Obama boasting about JFK?
Or Abe about NRT?

Nope...

But in PM Lee's address the other day, he spent (what felt like) a major portion of his annual speech to the nation for highlighting hus governments plans for the aiport.

And what was on the front page of several newspapers? Take a wild guess...

So there it is: Changi (which IS the worlds best airport, by the way, no argument) is also The Random Airport Rant blog airport of the week :-)
