Star Wars X-wing and TIE fighter land at Singapore Changi Airport. An out-of-this-world experience awaits all this festive season
Look no further, Star Wars fans. To kick start its annual year-end festive celebrations, Changi Airport is bringing a part of the galaxy far, far away to fans, travellers and visitors alike, with two of the film series’ iconic starfighters landing in Singapore for the very first time.
From 13 November 2015 to 5 January 2016, airport visitors can embark on an intergalactic adventure at Terminal 3’s (T3) Departure Hall, where a life-sized X-wing fighter takes centre stage.
Guests will be treated to the ultimate photo opportunity[1] as they get the chance to don Star Wars costumes and take the hot seat behind the controls in the cockpit. Photo memorabilia will be made available for visitors to bring home for free.
The X-wing fighter experience at T3 will not be complete without special appearances by the well-loved characters of Star Wars. Avid fans can look forward to the weekly character greetings featuring X-wing fighter pilots and Imperial Stormtroopers every Saturday at 4pm, from 14 November 2015 to 2 January 2016[2]. There will also be opportunities to win exclusive Star Wars merchandise at the same time.
The quest continues right behind the LED backdrop where the humanoid protocol droid C-3PO stands by his very own ‘language centre’, teaching airport visitors popular Star Wars phrases in 10 commonly-spoken languages. Fans will also be thrilled to find a showcase of Star Wars model displays such as that of the Millennium Falcon and Star DestroyerTM.
Over at Terminal 2’s (T2) Departure Hall, another signature starfighter of the First Order stands tall. The TIE fighter guarded by five Stormtroopers in the latest incarnation of their armour, is a sight to behold.
Passengers travelling through T2 can also expect to catch a glimpse of a Star Wars-themed gate holdroom and aerobridge at gate E26, where more life-sized figurines of the First Order Stormtroopers and the astromech droid R2-D2 are stationed to welcome passengers.
Something for everyone
The year-end celebrations at Changi Airport will also include other fun-filled activities and performances that will delight even the youngest of visitors. Children will be enthralled by the resident holiday favourite, a bouncy playground, located at T3’s Departure Hall (Check-in Row 11).
Inspired by the Hardangerjøkulen Glacier, one of the filming locations of Star Wars, the Norway-themed playhouse features a four-metre high slide, an illuminating ball pit, a ski slope and even a rock climbing lighthouse station for juniors to conquer.
While the young ones have their fun, families and friends can enjoy some friendly competition as they navigate through an obstacle course with the BB-8 App-Enabled Droid by Sphero, the little duo-spherical robot that will make its big screen debut this December.
Travellers also have more reasons to check-in early this festive season. With captivating displays of world famous icons such as the London Bus, the Tower Bridge, and the majestic Plaza De España of Spain in the airport’s departure transit halls, photo opportunities will be aplenty.
Over the course of the holiday celebrations, airport visitors can also look forward to being entertained by interactive stage and roving performances.
