Changi Airport signs MOU with Chongqing Airport

The Memorandum of Understanding by Changi Airports Group establishes a collaborative airports arrangement with Chongqing Airport Group.

This will allow both airports to collaborate through joint projects and staff exchanges, on areas such as terminal management, route development and commercial management.

The MOU was signed in Chongqing, China, this morning by Mr Wong Woon Liong, Senior Director of CAG’s Changi Airport Advisory Group, and Mr Zhao Jiang Ping, General Manager, Chongqing Airport Group.

At the same time, following its first commercial consultancy, Changi Airports International (CAI), CAG’s dedicated subsidiary for overseas ventures, has sealed two additional consultancy projects with Chongqing Airport Group for Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport. Chongqing Airport is a major air hub in China and one of China’s busiest airports.

In line with the region’s economic growth, traffic at Chongqing Airport has grown rapidly in recent years. The two projects cover a review of Chongqing Airport’s passenger transfer operations and proposed improvements to its retail environment.

CAI’s first commercial consultancy for Chongqing Airport Group was in 2008. That project saw CAI increasing the airport’s commercial space by 30%, thereby improving the revenue potential of Chongqing Airport. With the latest projects, CAI hopes to raise service standards at Chongqing Airport and optimise its commercial revenue and efficiency in line with the airport’s growth potential.

Mr Lee Seow Hiang, Chief Executive Officer, Changi Airport Group, said, “Amidst the increasingly competitive airport industry, this MOU will strengthen the relationship between Changi and Chongqing and sets the stage for closer collaboration to grow the two airports. We look forward to even closer partnership with Chongqing Airport for mutual benefit.”

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.
