Changi Airport saw 5.58 million passengers in April

Passenger traffic from Australia rose significantly.

The number of passengers going through Changi Airport hit 5.58 million in April, an increase of 2.8% YoY, an announcement revealed.

During the month, passenger traffic growth was recorded for all regions, except for South Asia. Amongst Changi’s top 10 markets, Australia led the gainers, with an 8% YoY increase in passenger movements.

However, aircraft movements dipped 1.7% to 31,500 landings and takeoffs, whilst airfreight throughput declined 12.8% to 156,000 tonnes for the month, according to its operating results.

As at 1 May 2019, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 400 cities in about 100 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 7,400 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 80 seconds.

Changi Airport Group also revealed that on 1 May, SilkAir launched four weekly services to Busan—a new city link for Changi Airport. Singapore Airlines added a daily service to its Singapore–Osaka (Kansai) route, bringing the total to 21 flights weekly.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
