The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will extend S$70 million to help airport partners tide over the economic downturn.
This is over and above the S$130 million Air Hub Development Fund announced earlier. The CAAS had, in December last year, announced an extension on this fund till end-2009.
The money will go towards rental rebates and a Promotions Development Fund for retail, food and beverage (F&B) as well as services concessionaires at Changi Airport.
The moves follow recent complaints of poor business by the Airport’s Terminal 3 retail and F&B tenants.
To help boost their business, CAAS said there will be year-long shopping promotions and vouchers for passengers passing through the airport.
