Changi Airport passenger movements up 4% in February

Passengers from Europe and North America led the growth.

Passenger movements in Singapore Changi Airport grew 4% YoY to 5.13 million in February. According to its operating statistics, aircraft movements remained stable with 29,900 landings and takeoffs, whilst airfreight throughput fell 8.3% to reach 137,000 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

Passenger traffic growth was observed across all regions, with Europe and North America recording double-digit growth, Changi said. With the Lunar New Year holidays falling in the month of February, traffic between Singapore and China grew 6%.

“The slowdown in world trade saw all cargo flows – exports, imports and transhipments – weakening,” the airport group added.

As at 1 March 2019, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 400 cities in about 100 countries and territories worldwide.

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.
