28 Jul 2014  2037 | Business & Trade Fairs

Singapore Changi Airport managed 4.65 million passengers in June, representing the highest number of passenger movements Changi has handled in a month so far this year.
Passenger traffic for the month was lower by 0.3% year-on-year, in tandem with a drop in aircraft movements that dipped 0.5% to 28,130.
In the first half of this year, 26.61 million passengers travelled through Changi Airport, 1.4% more than the corresponding period in 2013.
During the same six-month period, flight movements increased 2.9% to 171,680.
Travel demand within the Asia Pacific region spurred traffic growth for the half-year, with traffic to Northeast Asia and South Asia growing 5.1% and 4.1% respectively.
This was offset by weaker demand for travel to Thailand, which declined 18% for the half-year.
Jakarta continued to top the list of Changi Airport’s busiest routes, followed by Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Manila.
Denpasar-Bali registered a strong 31% increase in the first six months of 2014 compared to a year ago, the fastest growing among the top 10 routes.
As at 1 July 2014, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to over 300 cities in some 70 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 6,500 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 90 seconds.
