由来
  • 新加坡樟宜国际机场因位于樟宜（Changi）地区而得名。
  • 1942年，日本侵略新加坡之际，樟宜兵营继英国军队投降后被改建成了监狱。日军在占领新加坡时期，利用俘获的兵士在樟宜建造机场。
  • 二战结束后，英军返新并扩建了机场。英军最终撤军，遂于1971年12月5日把樟宜机场移交给新加坡政府管理。1975年六月，政府重启了樟宜机场的建设工作。
  • 樟宜机场于1981年7月1日正式投入运作。如今，新加坡樟宜机场是世界上最著名的机场之一。
  • 樟宜机场目前有四个航站楼。
  • 在不到50年的时间内，来访樟宜机场的旅客从每年的八百万人次增长到六千多万人次，而樟宜机场也获得超过590项荣誉。樟宜机场经常被评为世界上最好的机场，既高效又舒适。以樟宜机场为家的新加坡航空（Singapore Airlines）也是世界最佳航空公司之一。
  • 2019年落成的星耀樟宜（Jewel Changi Airport）也成为了游客必到的景点之一。星耀樟宜的“雨漩涡”（Rain Vortex）是世界最大型的室内瀑布，高达40米。
ETYMOLOGY
  • Changi Airport is named after its location in the Changi area.
  • In 1942, when the Japanese invaded Singapore, Changi Barracks was converted into a prison following the surrender of the British troops. During the Japanese Occupation, the Japanese Army had prisoners of war (POWs) build an airport at Changi.
  • The British Army returned to Singapore at the end of the Second World War and expanded the airport. The British eventually withdrew their military forces, and Changi Airport was handed over to the Singapore Government on 5 December 1971. Construction of the airport resumed in June 1975.
  • Changi Airport became fully operational on 1 July 1981. Today, it is one of the world’s most renowned airports.
  • Changi Airport currently has four terminals.
  • In less than 50 years, the annual number of visitors to Changi Airport has grown from 8 million to over 60 million. It has also received over 590 accolades. It is consistently ranked as the best airport in the world for its efficiency and comfort. Singapore Airlines, which is based at Changi Airport, is also one of the world’s top airlines.
  • Completed in 2019, Jewel Changi Airport has become a must-see attraction for visitors. The Rain Vortex, standing at 40 metres high, is the world’s largest indoor waterfall.
