As the Covid-19 pandemic recedes, Changi Airport is gradually regaining its status as a ‘portal’ to countries around the world.
This holiday season, however, the world-famous airport has seemingly added another location to its list of destinations.
Inspired by the upcoming ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ movie, Terminal 3 (T3) and Jewel Changi Airport bear nautical installations resembling the seaside village that the Metkayina clan call home.

The main attraction is undoubtedly the seven-metre-tall replica of the Na’vi’s abode overlooking blue tiles that seem to be brimming with bioluminescent life.
