SINGAPORE - Queues in front of check-in counters - not seen since the pandemic hit in 2020 - made a welcome return to Changi Airport on Friday morning (April 1). The previously mostly empty terminals had people towing luggages and others checking flight schedules on the now busy display screens. Crowds formed along the walkways and cafes enjoyed brisk business....

The Straits Times

Friday's scene is a far cry from just last September, when both terminals were completely shut due to a Covid-19 cluster forming among airport staff, offering hope that Singapore can once more take flight as an air hub. "I read that operations are being ramped up now so maybe this is the transition period. It's certainly exciting to travel again."

Ms Nicky Chan, 26, a hairstylist who works in Singapore, booked her flight to Penang after learning of the loosening of travel measures last week.
