Changi reports 2% growth

Singapore Changi Airport handled 4.37 million passenger movements in May, a growth of 2.0% compared to the same period in 2013.
Flight movements increased by 1.7% to 28,930.
The growth in passenger traffic was supported by an increase in air travel between Singapore and Northeast Asia, South Asia and Southwest Pacific, offset by weaker performance on some Southeast Asian routes.
Among Changi Airport’s top 10 country markets, Hong Kong and Vietnam registered double-digit increases. Travel to and from Thailand continued to be impacted by the political situation, decreasing by 17%, with Bangkok and Phuket traffic dropping by 24% and 7% respectively.

Aircraft landings and take-offs grew by 3.6% to 143,550.
