The “best airport in the world,” Singapore Changi, is having technical difficulties and delays.

Changi Airport in Singapore is frequently praised as the greatest airport in the world and is often referred to as “a destination in itself,” but that reputation is now in jeopardy after the city-state’s border control authority issued a warning about delays and long lines on Friday, March 31, owing to a technical problem with its immigration systems.

While long wait times and delayed immigration clearances are commonplace in international airports, Singapore’s aviation hub has long taken pride in its timeliness and ability to efficiently handle a high volume of passengers, in addition to its stunning architecture and amenities.
