Passengers on flight SQ327, which landed at 7.12am, welcomed the spacious layout of the renovated terminal and swift automated immigration clearance.A Singapore Airlines flight from Munich, the first to arrive at the refurbished Changi Airport Terminal 2 , touched down early on Sunday morning.
There are a total of 34 automated immigration lanes, said operator Changi Airport Group . They serve Singaporeans and residents who have enrolled their iris and facial biometrics with the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority , as well as eligible foreign visitors. Another 12 lanes are manned by ICA officers.
The rest of the arrival immigration hall, as well as the departure hall, are still undergoing renovation. The expansion works are slated to be fully completed by 2024. Mr Mohan said that the passengers were offered tea and biscuits by airport staff welcoming them, making for a "very festive" atmosphere.
The engineer, who said he is in his 50s, had flown from Texas in the United States — with a layover in Munich — to visit family in Singapore with his 17-year-old daughter.
