Changi Airport Terminal 3, Singapore
Project Overview
Changi Airport Terminal 3 is one of Singapore’s principal international air terminals, where passenger seating must endure intense, continuous use while maintaining a clean, comfortable appearance for travellers. The seating serves a constant flow of arriving and departing passengers around the clock, leaving little margin for finishes that tire or soil quickly.
Goodrich Global supplied fabric for the upholstery of seats in the terminal, providing a textile matched to the demands of a high-traffic aviation environment.
Goodrich Specification
The upholstery fabric specified for Terminal 3 is suited to the exacting conditions of airport seating, where surfaces are in near-constant contact with passengers and luggage. A hard-wearing contract textile resists abrasion and pilling, holding its appearance through the heavy, round-the-clock cycling that public seating endures. Its tight construction withstands repeated sitting, sliding and the drag of bags and cases without thinning at the high-contact points.
Ease of cleaning is equally important in a terminal: a fabric that wipes down and resists staining allows seating to be kept hygienic and presentable across long operating hours, supporting the airport’s standards of comfort and maintenance. Colour stability matters under bright, continuous terminal lighting, so the seating reads as fresh rather than faded throughout its service life.
Project Outcome
The upholstery keeps Terminal 3’s passenger seating durable, comfortable and easy to maintain under sustained use, providing travellers with a clean place to rest while extending the service life of the furniture. Its resilience helps reduce the frequency of reupholstery in a demanding setting, keeping public areas presentable with less disruption.
Goodrich Global supplies contract fabrics for demanding public and transport interiors, matching abrasion resistance and cleanability to each application.
