Over the years, Changi Airport has welcomed many different aircraft. This year-end holiday season, it is receiving not one but two more; however, this time, they are from a bit further away than usual.
Star War Fighters at Changi Airport
An X-wing Fighter and TIE Fighter have come to roost at Changi Airport for the holidays. These rival Star Wars flghters have docked at the public areas of Terminal 3 and Terminal 2 respectively.
At the Terminal 3 Departure Gate, the public can pose with a life-sized replica of an X-wing fighter.
The public can also view a display of Star Wars items and play with an interactive panel where translator droid C-3PO (“human-cyborg relations”) will expound phrases and sayings in a host of international languages.
Over at Terminal 2 is a scale model of an Imperial TIE Fighter.
The displays are part of the run up to the opening of the highly anticipated new Star Wars movie, The Force Awakens.
The Star Wars models at Changi Airport were officilally launched with a parade on 12 November 2015.
