Bandara Changi Singapura adalah bandara internasional utama yang melayani negara kota Singapura dan salah satu bandara terpenting di dunia untuk konektivitas. Terletak di ujung timur Singapura, sekitar 17 kilometer dari pusat kota, Changi dibuka pada 1981 dan secara konsisten dinobatkan sebagai bandara terbaik di dunia oleh Skytrax. SIN menangani lebih dari 65 juta penumpang per tahun di empat terminal ditambah Jewel Changi Airport, kompleks ritel dan hiburan yang memukau dengan Air Terjun Rain Vortex di dalamnya — air terjun dalam ruangan tertinggi di dunia. Bandara ini berfungsi sebagai hub utama Singapore Airlines, Scoot, dan Jetstar Asia, dan juga melayani hampir setiap maskapai internasional besar. Jalur MRT East-West menghubungkan bandara ke pusat kota dalam waktu sekitar 30 menit. Changi terkenal dengan fasilitasnya yang luar biasa termasuk taman kupu-kupu, kolam renang atap, bioskop, dan fasilitas istirahat gratis. Bandara ini mengoperasikan tiga landasan pacu dan posisi strategis Singapura di persimpangan rute perdagangan utama antara Asia Timur, Asia Selatan, Oseania, Eropa, dan Afrika menjadikan Changi hub transfer alami. Singapore Airlines telah membangun hubnya berdasarkan keunggulan geografis ini, menawarkan koneksi one-stop ke hampir setiap sudut dunia. Terminal 5, saat ini dalam pembangunan, akan melipatgandakan kapasitas bandara setelah selesai.
