Aircraft movements at Changi Airport down 1.7% to 28,030

But passenger movements and cargo shipments both increased.

Singapore Changi Airport handled 4.67 million passenger movements in February 2017, an increase of 1.5% year-on-year. Company statement revealed that aircraft movements dipped 1.7% to 28,030 landings and takeoffs, whilst cargo shipments rose 7.9% to reach 146,870 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

Passenger traffic for the month remained stable compared to a year ago, which saw travel boosted by the Lunar New Year holidays in February 2016.

Amongst Changi’s top 10 country markets, India posted the strongest growth of 14% increase – with traffic to Bengaluru, Mumbai, and New Delhi contributing to the growth. Traffic growth to Indonesia and Vietnam was also steady for the month, up 4% in both cases.

As at 1 March 2017, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 380 cities in about 90 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 7,000 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 90 seconds.

Changi Airport welcomed its first new airline for the year, US-Bangla Airlines, to Singapore on 10 March. It operates 4x weekly services to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

On 5 March, IndiGo Airlines doubled its number of services to Chennai, India to 14x weekly.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
