Jointly organised by the Ministry of Transport, Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, and Changi Airport Group, the exhibition offers a behind-the-scenes look at the ideas, designs and innovations shaping one of Singapore’s most ambitious infrastructure projects.

Visitors can explore how emerging technologies are being studied to address key challenges such as manpower constraints, an ageing population and climate change.
The journey culminates in experiential zones featuring Artificial Intelligence (AI) interactions and detailed scale models of Terminal 5 and the wider Changi East development, inviting visitors to imagine how the airport experience of tomorrow may look and feel.

Terminal 5 forms a major part of the broader Changi East development, which includes a third runway, cargo complexes, and supporting aviation and ground transport infrastructure. Construction of T5 began in May 2025, with completion targeted for the mid-2030s.
Beyond reinforcing Changi Airport’s standing as a world-class air hub, T5 is expected to create significant economic opportunities, driving demand for services and generating jobs across multiple industries.
