Airports in Singapore

As part of increased security at certain airports, and for passengers travelling to certain destinations, security personnel may require passengers to turn on their electronic devices including mobile phones, lap top computers, tablets and e-readers among others. If the devices do not have power, they will not be allowed on the aircraft and will be couriered to the passenger’s destination, at their expense.

Airports and destinations where checks will take place remain unconfirmed by officials. This means that all passengers should be prepared to have their mobile phones checked by security staff at the security check area, and at the gate. The checks will be random.

Passengers will be informed of the new regulations at the check in desk and they will be given ample opportunity to either stow their electronic devices into their hold luggage or to retrieve a charger from their hold luggage.
We recommend that you ensure that your electronic devices are fully charged before you depart for the airport. Always carry a charger in your hand luggage. Bigger airlines aircraft have USB and plug points in every seat making charging your phone easier.

Plug points can be found at airports around the world, you may have to carry an adapter plug with you. If you find yourself with an uncharged phone see if there is an electronics retailer nearby that will allow you to use one of their chargers to give your mobile phone a bit of battery life. Many airports have charging stations installed with power cables that fit all the mayor smartphone brands.

How you can conserve your mobile phone battery    

• If you own a smartphone turn it to “Airplane mode” when charging, your phone will charge faster.

• Turn your cellular data off and use only Wifi, if you’re in an area with Wifi. Your battery will last twice as long.

• If you turn your wifi and cellular data off, your phone battery life will be extended considerably.

• Avoid playing games on your mobile phone.

For the past 30 years, Changi Airport Group, previously as part of the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, has established Changi Airport as the world’s most awarded “Best Airport”. In a short span of seven years since Changi's opening, Terminal 1 received its first recognition as the world's best airport from Business Traveller (UK) in 1988. Two years later, Terminal 2 was unveiled to cope with Terminal 1's overwhelming success. More recently, the state-of-the art Terminal 3 opened in 2008. The JetQuay Terminal serves businesses and individuals who require a more luxurious level of service.

The sixth busiest international airport today, Changi Airport is a major air hub in Asia, Serving more than 100 international airlines flying to some 250 cities in about 60 countries and territories worldwide, Changi Airport handled more than 51.2 million passengers in 2012 (that's roughly 10 times the size of Singapore's population). A flight takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 100 seconds.

CAG’s strategic vision for Seletar Airport is to build a regional Business Aviation (BA) airport. The strategy is also supported by the projected strong growth in Asia’s demand for business jets (expected to grow 6-9% per annum over the next five to ten years).

Also, promoting Seletar Airport as a regional BA hub complements the Seletar Aerospace Park vision. The SAP is planned to incorporate and integrate a wide range of aviation activities: maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) for narrow-body and light aircraft; design, manufacturing and testing of aircraft systems and components; a regional aviation campus; and a secondary airport to support BA and general aviation. The existing strong base of MRO activities for business jets at Seletar puts it in a good position to be a premier BA hub in the region.
