Changi adds more incentives

05 Sep 2014  2038 | Business & Trade Fairs

SINGAPORE Changi Airport is offering 50% discounts on landing fees for nonstop long-haul services to Singapore as well as incentives to encourage airlines to feed tranfser passenger traffic through the airport.

The offer valid for 19 months is part of a programme called GAIN, a Growth and Assistance Incentive programme launched last June.
Changi Airport Group provided additional details, Wednesday of landing fee rebates for long-haul flights (nine hours or more flight time) and incentives for airlines to grow transfer traffic through Changi Airport.
These measures are designed to strengthen the Singapore air hub and represent a saving or financial value of SGD$50 million over the next 19 months for airlines operating at Changi Airport.
CAG’s senior vice president for market development, Lim Ching Kiat said: “Airlines could be facing yield and cost pressures in the present environment… The new incentives are targeted at long-haul flights and transfer traffic, two important segments of our air traffic. Long-haul services are a key part of Changi Airport’s global connectivity.”
Transfer traffic is another important component prompting Changi Airport to roll out incentives to reward airline partners for growing transfer traffic.
“This is on top of the extension of our popular Changi Transit Programme which offers attractive vouchers to passengers using Changi as their transfer point,” he explained.
CAG will offer airlines a 50% rebate on landing fees for all nonstop long-haul passenger flights1 until 31 March 2016.
In addition, CAG is launching, next month, a Gateway Incentive to motivate airlines to grow their transit and transfer traffic at Changi Airport.
All airlines operating at Changi Airport will receive a SGD$10 incentive for every incremental departing transit/transfer passenger handled.
The 18-month scheme is effective 1 October and will also include passengers carried by foreign airlines interlining at Changi. The Gateway Incentive will encourage airlines to adjust their pricing and network revenue management models to meet growth targets and benefit from the scheme.
As previously announced, under the GAIN programme, CAG is also offering all airlines operating at Changi Airport across-the-board rebates of 50% on aircraft parking fees and 15% on aerobridge fees until 30 June 2015.
Passenger Incentives
Along with the Gateway Incentive, CAG is also extending the Changi Transit Programme until 31 March 2015 to promote Changi Airport as a transfer hub.
Passengers travelling on Singapore Airlines, or SilkAir flights, can continue to redeem up to SGD40 in Changi Dollar Vouchers for use during their time at the airport. Launched in October 2012, more than 1 million passengers have enjoyed the programme to date, with travellers from the key transfer markets – Australia, China, India and Indonesia – topping the list of voucher recipients.
