Changi Airport passenger traffic jumped 10% in January

Travel to all top markets increased.

Singapore’s Changi Airport handled 4.86 million passengers in January, marking 10% year-on-year jump.

Aircraft movements were 4.7% higher with 30,150 landings and takeoffs, while cargo shipments improved 4.0% to 158,000 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

Changi Airport Group said that passenger traffic growth was mainly boosted by air travel demand to North East Asia and South East Asia, which account for two-thirds of Changi Airport’s total traffic. 

During the month, traffic to and from all of Changi Airport’s top 10 country markets increased, with six markets – China, Hong Kong, Japan, Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam – recording double-digit growth. Indonesia traffic rose 7.3%, the first increase since July 2015.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

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.
