Changi Airport’s passenger traffic grows by 3% in June

It handled 4.84 million passenger movements last month.

Singapore’s Changi Airport is getting more crowded every month as it once again saw a 3% increase in its passenger movements, while its aircraft movements were also 2.9% higher at 29,350 landings and takeoffs.

According to a press release by Changi, cargo shipments also rose by 7.8% to reach 163,070 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

The release noted that the main regions driving growth were the Americas, North East Asia and South West Pacific.

“Among Changi’s top ten country markets, China (+16%) and Australia (+7%) led the gainers, with Guangzhou, Melbourne and Perth registering double-digit increases,” the press release said.

Meanwhile, for the first half of 2016, 28.8 million passengers passed through Changi Airport, 8.0% higher than the corresponding period last year.

“Growth was broad-based – all of Changi’s top ten country markets achieved positive growth – with double-digit increases recorded for China, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam. Aircraft movements rose 4.7% to 177,810, while airfreight movements improved 4.2% to reach 950,250 tonnes for the six months,” the press release added.

“As at 1 July 2016, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 330 cities in about 80 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 6,800 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 90 seconds,” it said.

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.
