Changi Airport passenger traffic jumped 10% in January

Travel to all top markets increased.

Singapore’s Changi Airport handled 4.86 million passengers in January, marking 10% year-on-year jump.

Aircraft movements were 4.7% higher with 30,150 landings and takeoffs, while cargo shipments improved 4.0% to 158,000 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

Changi Airport Group said that passenger traffic growth was mainly boosted by air travel demand to North East Asia and South East Asia, which account for two-thirds of Changi Airport’s total traffic. 

During the month, traffic to and from all of Changi Airport’s top 10 country markets increased, with six markets – China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – recording double-digit growth. Indonesia traffic rose 7.3%, the first increase since July 2015.

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.
