Airshow Shuttle service to ease travel to


Singapore Airshow 2012

Special public days shuttle service between Changi Airport and
Changi Exhibition Centre returns

SINGAPORE, 17 February 2012 Public Day visitors to Singapore Airshow 2012 over
the weekend of 18 to 19 February 2012 will be able to travel all the way to the event site
at Changi Exhibition Centre (CEC) conveniently using public transport. Changi Airport
Group (CAG) together with Experia Events Pte Ltd, organiser of the Singapore Airshow,
will bring back the popular shuttle bus service - the Airshow Shuttle - that will ply the
route between Changi Airport and CEC.

Airshow visitors are strongly encouraged to use this shuttle service from Changi Airport,
which is well served by MRT trains and public buses. To minimise congestion at CEC
and in the airport vicinity, visitors to Singapore Airshow should make their way to
Changi Airport via the MRT or public buses, and board the Airshow Shuttle there.
Visitors are strongly encouraged not to drive to the airport due to the expected heavy
traffic and limited carpark capacity.

The Airshow Shuttle, with a fleet of about 100 buses, will operate from the coach stands
of Changi Airport Terminals 2 and 3. The coach stand, located just outside the arrival
halls, will have a designated boarding point for the Airshow Shuttle. Public visitors are
advised to check their Airshow ticket for the exact boarding location at Terminal 2 or 3
at Changi Airport.

At CEC, visitors who have taken the Airshow Shuttle from Terminal 2 should join the
Terminal 2 queue for their return trip. Likewise, those who have taken the Airshow
Shuttle from Terminal 3 are to join the Terminal 3 queue.

The first shuttle service departs from Changi Airport at 8.00 am and the last service
departs from CEC at 7.00 pm, with a frequency of every 3 - 5 minutes. A two-way
Airshow Shuttle transfer is included in the ticket price for Public Day visitors.

Only vehicles with a Singapore Airshow 2012 car park label will be allowed to
enter the show site. Car park labels cannot be purchased onsite. They are only
available as part of the Singapore Airshow family package, which are sold out.
Limited public day entrance tickets are available on-site for purchase at S$30 per


Adult and S$15 per Child. A taxi surcharge of $8 also applies for taxis departing
from Changi Exhibition Centre.

To facilitate the flow of those travelling to Changi Airport, SMRT Trains has added extra
train trips and increased the frequency of MRT services between the Tanah Merah MRT
Station and Changi Airport MRT Station. From 9.00 am to 7.30 pm on 18 and 19
February 2012, the headway between Tanah Merah and Changi Airport stations will be
7 minutes, from the current 9 to 12 minutes.

CAG is also stepping up efforts to provide additional cleaning staff to ensure that airport
facilities, such as washrooms, are well-maintained to handle the influx of users.
Furthermore, there will be more customer service staff present throughout the terminals,
as well as the Changi Airport MRT Station, to provide way-finding assistance to
Singapore Airshow visitors.
