Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3 welcomes Lion Air as the terminal's first budget, low-cost airline on 18 October 2013 as Lion Air stops operating in Terminal 2 after 17 October 2013.

The shift in Lion Air's operations will enlarge Lion Air's hub operations in Singapore as it flies daily from Singapore to Jakarta, Surabaya and Ho Chi Minh City and will add further direct flights to other Indonesian cities from Singapore in the near future.

Lion Air's Malaysian sister airline Malindo Air also has plans to operate new shuttle flights between Kuala Lumpur International Airport and Changi Airport Terminal 3 by 2014.

As a result of Lion Air moving to Terminal 3, Philippine Airlines and PAL Express will shift operations back from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 on 28 October 2013 as Tigerair and Scoot increase outbound flights to Asian cities such as Chiang Mai, Lijiang, Lombok (begins 22 November by Tigerair), Surabaya  (commences 15 November by Tigerair) and Hong Kong (by Scoot)  from Terminal 2 in November.

In September 2013, Changi Airport Terminal 3 welcomes Asiana Airlines' shift of operations from Terminal 2 to Terminal 3 on 30 September.
