Changi Airport's passenger movements up 7.7% in June

It registered 5.21 million passenger movements.

Changi Airport reported positive performance indicators for the month of June. Passenger movements, for one, went up by 7.7% to 5.21 million.

This was boosted by growth across all regions. Amongst Changi’s top 10 country markets, India – leading the gainers since February this year – clocked a robust 25% year-on-year growth, whilst Vietnam (+12%) and China (+11%) also saw double-digit growth. Bangkok was Changi’s busiest route for the month, followed closely by Kuala Lumpur.

In terms of aircraft movements, Changi recorded a 5.4% growth to 30,920 landings and takeoffs, whilst cargo shipments grew 5.5% to reach 172,040 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

During the month, Changi Airport established a new city link to Athens, with Scoot’s 4x weekly non-stop services to the city. Indian carrier IndiGo also introduced daily services between Singapore and Bengaluru on 1 July. Meanwhile, Singapore Airlines doubled its weekly services to Rome, bringing the total to 4x weekly, and stepped up its Singapore-Sydney services from 33x to 35x weekly on 18 June.

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.
