Budget passengers up 26 % at Changi

And they now account for a quarter of the airport’s traffic.

It was a good performance and Singapore Changi Airport registered more than 3.73 million passenger movements. The growth in passenger traffic was in line with a 13.9% increase in aircraft movements to 24,270 flights.

Passenger traffic from most regions enjoyed double-digit growth compared to April 2010. Eastern Europe registered the strongest year-on-year growth of 23%, followed by Southeast Asia (18%) and Western Europe (17%). Passenger traffic to Northeast Asia increased 10%, even as traffic to and from Tokyo and all of Japan declined by 34% and 28% respectively. More passengers were carried between Singapore and points such as Bangkok, Hong Kong, Manila, Melbourne and London.

Low cost carriers, which account for about a quarter of Changi Airport’s passenger traffic, continued to be the growth driver, carrying 26% more passengers compared to a year ago. Full service carriers also enjoyed double-digit growth in passenger traffic of 10%. As at 1 May 2011, Changi serves some 100 airlines operating more than 5,600 flights to 200 cities in 60 countries and territories.

Buoyed by double-digit growth in cargo transshipments, airfreight movements at Changi Airport grew 6.1% to 155,812 tonnes in April 2011.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
