The Budget Terminal opened for operations on 26 March 2006. It was built in response to the emerging trend of low cost carriers (LCCs) in Asia.
To make way for the construction of Terminal 4, the Budget Terminal will officially cease operations on 25 September 2012. This is to cater to the continued growth of air traffic at Changi Airport and further strengthen Singapore’s air hub status.
Airlines currently operating in the Budget Terminal will move their operations to Terminal 2 and will start operations there from 0600 hours on 25 September 2012. The affected airlines are Berjaya Air, Cebu Pacific, Firefly, South East Asian Airlines and Tiger Airways. Changi Airport and the airlines will work to minimise inconvenience to passengers as far as possible. More details on each airline’s operations at Terminal 2 will be provided nearer the effective date.
