Committee of Supply 2025 debate, Day 4: Sharael Taha on Changi Airport Development Fund
Developing Singapore into a leading air hub requires more than just expanding airport capacity, said MP Sharael Taha. Speaking in parliament on Wednesday (Mar 5), he noted that in order to stay ahead of rapidly improving regional airports, Singapore must boost productivity, enhance connectivity, and strengthen its position as a key business and travel destination. Beyond the airport, the broader air hub ecosystem must also grow in tandem, he said. He asked how Singapore can optimise urban planning and resource allocation in areas such as Loyang industrial estate, Changi Business Park, Pasir Ris, Punggol Digital District and Seletar as Changi Airport expands, so as to reinforce growth and strengthen Singapore’s aviation sector.
