The terminal has 28 aerobridge gates, with eight capable of handling the Airbus A380. The terminal had the capacity up to 22 million passenger annually with 380,000 m2 of usable area, while over 20,000 m2 of floor space had been set aside for retail and F&B.

Unique Features

Unique features of the Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3.

Terminal 3 is recognisable from its expansive rectilinear roof, which is a unique horizontal stroke right from the dramatic cantilever over the kerbside, across the Main Departure and Arrival Halls to the aircraft-apron on the other side. Its underlying complexity lies in its details, which are derived from the layering of ceiling panels, baffles, 919 skylights and high-tech 'butterflies', creating a random aperture pattern build-up that evokes a rainforest canopy. The natural luminance of the interior spaces is enhanced by the patterns and textures of the floor and feature wall surfaces. It is a space that not only offers the latest in airport facilities, but also a new experience for passengers. A 5 m (16 ft) high "Green Wall" with hanging creepers and waterfall was incorporated to enhance the tropical feel and also helps to regulate the internal temperature of the terminal with the occasional misting.[1]
