SINGAPORE, 15 April 2026 – A new premium gateway is taking shape at Changi Airport. Changi Airport Group (CAG) has started work on redeveloping the former Commercially Important Persons (CIP) terminal site into a vibrant travel and lifestyle destination, featuring an enhanced private terminal and a new amenities cluster linked to the existing Hub & Spoke. Strategically located at the southern node of Terminal 2, the development will transform Changi’s premium travel experience when it opens in mid-2027.
An elevated private terminal experience
The new private terminal to replace the CIP terminal will be jointly operated by CAG and Plaza Premium Group (PPG). PPG is the global leader in integrated airport hospitality and passenger service solutions, operating the largest network of airport lounges worldwide and delivering a 360-degree airport hospitality experience.
Offering a fully personalised journey at every touchpoint, passengers using this terminal will be able to rest and recharge in an exclusive space, before being facilitated for their flight. There will be smooth transfers to boarding gates and convenient access to Changi’s world-class shopping. The private terminal will feature a deluxe lounge, bar, private suites and bespoke dining, blending sophistication with understated elegance. It will also feature a versatile, high-end event space designed for larger entourages and private gatherings, where discretion, scale and elevated design come together seamlessly.
Mr Ang Siew Min, CAG’s Senior Vice President, Airport Operations Development and Airport Operations Services, shared:Some of today’s travellers seek more than just a comfortable place to spend time before their flight — they are after a personalised premium experience. CAG is meeting this demand with an upgraded private terminal that delivers an exceptional experience. In addition, a curated selection of dining and wellness offerings awaits just steps from the private terminal, further enriching the suite of options available to our passengers.
Ms Mei Mei Song, PPG’s Chief Transformation Officer, stated:As we join hands with CAG on the development and operations of this pioneering private terminal, PPG is committed to delivering a consistently elevated end-to-end experience for premium travellers at Changi Airport.
