Singapore Changi Airport has been named the World’s Best Airport for six consecutive years. Inside T4: Terminal of Tomorrow goes behind the scenes to meet the team responsible for conceptualizing Changi Airport’s new terminal and bringing it to life. With dramatic obstacles and thrilling achievements, National Geographic stays close to the T4 team as they tackle airport efficiency and security challenges, introduce cutting-edge facial recognition technology, install 12-meter-tall indoor trees and the world’s largest kinetic sculpture, and ultimately deliver groundbreaking design and technology solutions set to change the air travel game in Asia and across the globe.
In 2017, 62 million passengers came through the gates of Singapore’s Changi Airport. By 2030, it plans to bring its capacity to more 150 million passengers. The first step to this expansion is the opening of its new terminal – T4. But while grappling with soaring passenger numbers is essential, Changi Airport has a reputation to uphold as an award-winning airport with the best experience in the world. Through Inside T4: Terminal of Tomorrow, viewers can join in the drama as designers and technical experts devise how to keep Changi ahead and raise the bar even further.
Vineet Puri, Senior Vice President and Territory Head for Singapore & Malaysia, FOX Networks Group Asia said, “National Geographic has been extremely proud to join forces with the Changi Airport Group to bring the T4 story to life. With its rich cultural heritage and pioneering smart city development, Singapore has a treasure trove of stories to share on innovation, technology, science, nature and culture. Working in strong partnership with CAG, we are thrilled to explore how we can continue to collaborate on content creation which tells the story of Singapore.”
