    Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection

    Loose objects on the runway pose safety risks to aircraft, and can cause aircraft engines to catch fire if they are ingested. To keep our runways safe, CAG uses iFerretTM, an industry-leading FOD detection system employed by major airports worldwide. With its high definition electro-optical sensors and proprietary software,  iFerretTM can detect a foreign object even in low light, thus facilitating the timely removal of the object from our runways for the safety of aircraft and passengers.

    iFerretTM, owned by CAG, is in compliance with US FAA specifications. For more information on procuring iFerretTM, please contact: business.development@changiairport.com.

    Baggage Handling

    Maintaining a highly efficient airport is not easy. The baggage handling system that Changi Airport maintains is a highly complex one that is an adventure to tell on its own. 

    Skytrains

    A meticulous adherence to technicalities is something we treat seriously and take pride in. Connecting passengers across our terminals seamelssly is no easy feat. We constantly keep a close watch to ensure that our systems operate smoothly every minute of the day.

    Airfield Lighting

    One of the most crucial aspects of a flight landing is the visibility of the runway environment. Good visibility helps the pilot to align the aircraft with the runway upon arrival at a prescribed point on approach. We work with the best to employ the newest technologies and excellent hardware to ensure the safety of all passengers.

    Passenger Boarding Bridges

    Ever grateful for sheltered walkways? Passenger boarding bridges ensure that you have dry access to your flights in all weathers, and enhances operational safety.

    Here at Changi, we are one of the world's first to have double boarding bridges for larger aircrafts, allowing you to board faster and have more time to enjoy the airport facilities.
