Commenting on the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore's (CAAS) allocation of S$1.3 billion to support Changi Airport's expansion, SMU Assistant Professor of Strategy & Entrepreneurship (Education) Terence Fan said that with aviation demand continuing to grow, Singapore's existing four terminals will eventually reach saturation, making the T5 project a necessary pre-emptive deployment to break through limitations and benefit the overall economy. Asst Prof Fan highlighted that manpower shortages remain a critical challenge, necessitating greater adoption of automation, self-service technologies, and AI to address workforce gaps.
