SINGAPORE – Visitors to Jewel Changi Airport can enjoy a free exhibition that documents how the late Mr Lee Kuan Yew made Changi Airport the world-class aviation hub it is today.
Tracing the history of aviation in Singapore, visitors will begin their journey by travelling back to the 1970s to learn about the history of Paya Lebar Airport. A life-sized living room set and realistic auditory effects help take them back in time, so they can experience the inconveniences of living in central Singapore with aeroplanes flying over them back then.
An interactive digital screen allows visitors to learn about the considerations Mr Lee Kuan Yew and his team had about moving the airport to Changi.

Lastly, visitors are encouraged to explore the future of Singapore’s aviation, by looking ahead to the Changi East development and the upcoming Terminal 5.
