History of Changi Aiport

The original airport was located in Paya Lebar but the government decided to build a new airport in Changi in 1975 as it would be easier to expand by land reclamation. As this is a huge project, many companies came together to build this Airport. Therefore, Singaporeans no longer faced problems such as unemployment. Our economies also improved when they got their jobs.
Another great advantage of the Changi site was that it would provide the ideal home for Singapore Airlines after separating from Malaysia. In the absence of any domestic routes, Singapore Airlines immediately had to compete with other international airlines for routes, access to airports, attracting new customers and so on, and its high reputation in to-day’s world of air transport is the prime measure of its outstanding success. Always keeping up-to-date by operating the most modern aircrafts and maintaining the highest standards of efficiency and service, it has enabled Singapore to develop and exploit its many advantages in the world of trade and commerce – and in the process helped to give the name Changi a unique recognition.
