  Singapore Changi Airport - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Concerned that the existing airport was located in an area with potential for urban growth and was physically helmed in on all sides, the government decided in 1975 to build a new airport at the eastern tip of the main island at Changi, where the airport can be expanded by reclaiming land.
In the "World Airport Survey" conducted by the same organisation, the airport came in second place for four consecutive years from 2002 to 2005 and was third in 2001, with a narrowing gap between itself and first placed Hong Kong International Airport in each successive year.
The airport is connected to the Mass Rapid Transit network, with a station located underground between Terminal 2 and the future Terminal 3.

 Singapore Changi Airport - Review and Guide to Singapore's International Airport Changi
Singapore Airport has been voted by many different magazines and organisations for many consecutive years as the best airport in the world, and to be honest it is not surprising why.
Changi is presently split into two terminals (1 and 2), with arrivals and departures on two separate levels, arrivals being the lower and departures the upper level.
The only major difference from most airports and something that I personally believe to be a big mistake is that when you arrive at the baggage reclaim/customs area the screens between you and the waiting crowds of friends and relatives, waiting to greet the incoming are transparent.

Airports need to develop a comprehensive view of their environment and understand how the business fits with the underlying infrastructure.
