shouldn't park on the runway.  it will deform under the load and result in a bumpy runway.

Parked on taxiway.... not runway

This make me set thinking.. Why not convert half of the T5 into some other attractions like watersports activities and maybe 2 or 3 stories building for hotels and or chalet and also can link it to main airport, imagine doing watersports, or having chalet bbq while watching planes fly off and land in such close proximity.. How cool..  This will be able to attract tourist and also locals to visit there.

They only need one runway now. Can use the other runway to organise drag race - full 1 Mile! Add makan and drink stalls. Legal car meet up. Buy petrol, burn money. Good for economy. Tourism Board sleeping?

Coronavirus: SIA offers cabin crew early retirement and release as part of further cost-cutting measures

Expect SIA & Changi Airport to be a 1-2% activity in both 2020 and 2021.

(basically until a vaccine has arrived)

Full recovery to previous levels of business possibly delayed all the way until 2025.

Current "green lane" arrangements with their onerous requirements offers negligible relief.

https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/commentary/outlook-will-worsen-for-sia-sq-singapore-airlines-travel-bubble-13009928

"The opening of the “fast lane” with China and the resumption of transit traffic did not have a significant impact in June, when Changi’s passenger numbers still declined by 99.2 per cent."

"Changi handled only 10,000 transit passengers in the first seven weeks following the early June launch of the new transit scheme."

"The Reciprocal Green Lane (RGL) with Malaysia that is being implemented later this month is limited to only 400 business travelers per week."

"The ASEAN Secretariat would be an ideal platform for facilitating the reopening of international travel but so far there has been no progress in establishing a multilateral framework for travel bubbles in Southeast Asia or Asia overall.

Changi and the SIA Group could potentially recover 20 per cent or 30 per cent of traffic without a vaccination but this has become a highly unlikely scenario."

Nong ago, I met girls who were really proud and almost snobbish of the fact they managed to be sq girls and tok macham standing on air one. I wonder how they feel now.

Conception of T5 is really suay, nobody will have expected Covid-19 will bring aviation to a standstill. Land already been cleared, construction started and taxpayers money sunk in.  

Will be lucky to get T5 started by 2025.

SIA burns through half of $8.8 billion cash raised in two months

https://www.straitstimes.com/business/companies-markets/sia-burns-through-half-of-88-billion-cash-raised-in-two-months

Quote

Of the $4.4 billion spent since mid-June, $1.1 billion was used for operating expenses, maturing fuel-hedging trades and ticket refunds from cancelled flights due to the coronavirus pandemic, the airline said on Wednesday (Aug 19). About $2 billion was used to repay a bridge loan facility, $900 million to service debt and $200 million to buy aircraft.

CCB SIA

So fast 4plus billion spent lao.. Its unsustainable unless sia do more drastic cut in expenditure. 

[Kangadrool]

Surprised that they didn't come up with fly to nowhere flights. 

At least can keep more pilots certification current while at the same time earn money.
