受到冠状病毒19疫情冲击,我国樟宜机场第五搭客大厦(T5)项目也随之暂缓两年,交通部长许文远也表示,将观察冠病疫情的发展,进行调整。

基础建设统筹部长兼交通部长许文远今日(16日)向媒体透露,第五搭客大厦的设计和格局也会进行调整,将相关安全措施考虑在内。

许文远也指出,航空业是目前受到疫情影响最严重的领域之一,尽管他对亚太地区的航空业有信心,相信今后将有能力回弹,但也坦言,航空业的恢复如今确实是个未知数。

针对疫情,他认为,在未找到疫苗前,疫情都有可能反弹,均对航空业和旅游业未来都产生影响。

“基于这些巨大的不确定性,我们正在进行一轮关于航空业的深入研究,以评估后冠病时代航空业的前景。我们认为几个月内应该很难得到答案,这可能需要几年时间,所以我们决定暂缓该项目。”
