CHANGI Airport is clearing a plot of land - the size of over 40 football fields - to park more than 30 single-aisle planes.

This will boost its current capacity by more than a fifth and cater for future growth.

Sited along a stretch of land where Terminal 3 is and across a road from where Terminal 4 will be built, the 38.5ha area currently houses a plant nursery, a reservoir and a pond.
