Passenger movements at Changi Airport soared to record-breaking 54 million in 2014

This figure is the largest in its 33-year history.

Changi Airport’s passenger movement soared to 54.1 million in 2014, the largest number ever recorded in its 33-year history.

On a year-on-year basis, the number of passengers posted a mild 0.7% increase. The airport’s busiest day last year was December 20, the Saturday before Christmas, with 186,500 passengers passing through during the 24 hours.

Traffic to the South Asia and Northeast Asia regions rose 6% and 4% respectively, but this was offset by weaker performance on European and Southeast Asian routes.

Accounting for more than 7.5 million passengers in 2014, Indonesia continued to be the airport’s top country market, followed by Malaysia, Australia, Thailand and China.

In terms of Changi’s busiest routes, the top 10 destinations remained unchanged with Jakarta, Hong Kong, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok and Manila taking the top five spots.

For the second year in a row, Denpasar-Bali was the fastest growing among the top 10 routes, enjoying a robust 15.7% growth on-year.
