The airline industry’s most prominent trade body said it objects to any attempts by Singapore to charge travelers to help fund the construction of its new Terminal 5 in Changi Airport.
The International Air Transport Association is “strongly against any pre-financing of any infrastructure,” IATA Chief Executive Officer Alexandre de Juniac told a media roundtable as part of the Singapore Airshow Monday. “We shouldn’t pay first without having the infrastructure ready to be operated and used by airlines and by the users.”
