Aircraft movements at Changi Airport down 1.7% to 28,030

But passenger movements and cargo shipments both increased.

Singapore Changi Airport handled 4.67 million passenger movements in February 2017, an increase of 1.5% year-on-year. Company statement revealed that aircraft movements dipped 1.7% to 28,030 landings and takeoffs, whilst cargo shipments rose 7.9% to reach 146,870 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

Passenger traffic for the month remained stable compared to a year ago, which saw travel boosted by the Lunar New Year holidays in February 2016.

Amongst Changi’s top 10 country markets, India posted the strongest growth of 14% increase – with traffic to Bengaluru, Mumbai, and New Delhi contributing to the growth. Traffic growth to Indonesia and Vietnam was also steady for the month, up 4% in both cases.

As at 1 March 2017, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 380 cities in about 90 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 7,000 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 90 seconds.

Changi Airport welcomed its first new airline for the year, US-Bangla Airlines, to Singapore on 10 March. It operates 4x weekly services to Dhaka, Bangladesh.

On 5 March, IndiGo Airlines doubled its number of services to Chennai, India to 14x weekly.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
