As part of the Changi East project, a three-runway system will also be implemented, to increase Changi’s runway capacity. An existing third runway, currently used by the military, will be extended to handle larger passenger aircraft. Almost 40km of new taxiways will be built to connect the third runway with the current two runways operated by the airport. These, coupled with new facilities such as navigation aids, airfield lighting systems and a fire station will further facilitate efficient aircraft movement.
