Changi Airport’s passenger traffic inched up in April

Almost 4.4m passengers used the airport.

Changi Airport’s passenger traffic inched up by 0.2% year-on-year in April, according to Changi Airport Group.

The airport handled 4.39 million passengers, down from 4.53 million passengers in March.

“For the month of April, travel demand to Northeast Asia and South Asia continued to drive passenger traffic growth, offset by a decline in Europe travel. Among Changi’s top 10 cities, there were double-digit increases in passenger movements to and from Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City and Tokyo, compared to April 2014,” the group said.

On the cargo front, airfreight shipments at Changi grew 1.6% to 153,400 tonnes. However, there were fewer aircraft landings and takeoffs during the month, down 0.4% on-year to 28,260.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
