SINGAPORE, March 6 (Bloomberg): Singapore is prioritising safely reopening its borders this year and nailing down Changi Airport’s position as an international hub when travel recovers from the pandemic, otherwise "we will be bereft,” Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung had said in Parliament.
"Our mission this year is not so much to force this sharp recovery of the aviation sector, but to adapt to a new normal, to reopen safely and build up confidence, to test workable concepts and to strengthen the belief that Changi Airport will still be an international air hub post-Covid-19,” Ong said.
