===Terminal 2 Public Indoor Viewing Mall===
===Terminal 2 Public Indoor Viewing Mall (Aviation Gallery)===
The viewing mall here offers a view of many Singapore Airlines 777s, SilkAir and Malaysian Airlines aircraft, which are the main users of Terminal 2. Movements on 20C/02C are also visible. However, this location is unsuitable for photography, firstly as the glass panels are tinted green, and secondly the transit mall extends under the viewing mall, effectively placing two layers of glass in front of you, and a lot of panel frames to contend with. The sunshades also block you from looking at eye level, instead you have to look downwards to see the aircraft parked at the apron.

Note: as at 6th August 2009 this Viewing Mall is closed for redevelopment.
This viewing mall has now been newly renovated into a aviation gallery which has exhibits and information on the ground operations of the airport. The view remains the same.
