Retail takes off at airport terminals amid looming headwinds


Visitors sit using their smartphones at the Rain Vortex indoor waterfall feature at the Jewel Changi Airport mall in Singapore, on Sunday, Oct. 3, 2021. Singapore Trade Minister Gan Kim Yong said the government is committed to reopening the country gradually after reimposing domestic curbs such as making work-from-home the default and cutting the number of diners to deal with a surge in cases.

SINGAPORE: Shops at the airport terminals and those at Jewel Changi Airport mall are starting to see some signs of life again, bolstered by the easing of social restrictions and the launch of vaccinated travel lanes (VTLs).

But the looming threat of the Omicron variant has some retail staff concerned, even though there has not been a significant drop in foot traffic.
