Singapore Airlines is preparing to upgrade and transform its SilverKris and KrisFlyer Gold lounges at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 over the next two years, investing S$45 million to elevate the on-ground customer experience at its main hub.
Renovations will begin on 15 April 2025, progressing in phases, with completion expected around mid-2027. The revamped lounges will boast 50% more space and seating capacity, and feature upgraded facilities, signature elements from SIA’s flagship lounges at Changi Airport Terminal 3, and an enhanced variety of food and beverage options.
The all-new First-Class SilverKris Lounge will feature a spacious area with increased capacity, higher ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. A renovated bar will feature a premium experience, including barista services in the morning.
The live cooking stations in the First-Class SilverKris Lounge will serve a wide range of popular Singaporean, Asian, and Western cuisine of dishes, while the self-service buffet will also be expanded to mirror the offerings available at the SilverKris Lounge in Terminal 3.
The Business Class SilverKris Lounge will expand by 30%, providing customers with more space and comfort. It will include a quiet rest area with recliners for customers to relax before their flight, and a redesigned living room area with diverse seating options, including wingback chairs, sofa seats, and productivity pods. These will give customers the flexibility to work, dine, or rest in comfort.

The expanded self-service buffet will feature both Asian and Western cuisines. A new full-service bar will complement the dining experience, serving fresh barista-made coffee in the morning and signature cocktails in the evening.
The KrisFlyer Gold Lounge will double its capacity, offering various seating options, such as armchairs for lounging, workstations, and dining seats. New amenities will include in-lounge restrooms and shower suites, enabling customers to freshen up before their flights.

In Quotes
Mr. Yeoh Phee Teik, Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Singapore Airlines, said:
“This significant investment underscores Singapore Airlines’ unwavering commitment to elevating the end-to-end travel experience for our customers. Building on the success of our Terminal 3 lounges, we are extending our signature hospitality and thoughtfully curated offerings to Terminal 2. This upgrade reaffirms our continued dedication to providing a seamless, world-class experience that meets the high expectations of our discerning customers.”
Investment at its home hub
Singapore Airlines is spending a lot at its home hub to lift its passenger experience, with S$45 million being the best part of US$3.5 million. With Terminal 2 being one of the older terminals at Changi – but a core part of Singapore Airlines’ operations, the airline has chosen to update the experience for its premium passengers.
With these lounges following the same design principles as at Terminal 3, they should offer a good passenger experience.
You’ll just have to wait for the work to be completed.
