Changi Airport's passenger traffic rises 6.1% to 4.67m

Even the haze couldn't dampen growth.

In a release, Changi Airport Groupt revealed that Singapore Changi Airport's passenger traffic increased 6.1% in June 2013, with 4.67 million passengers passing through the airport.

"This marks the highest number of passenger movements Changi has handled in a month this year. In terms of flight movements, a total of 28,300 aircraft landings and take-offs were recorded, a growth of 6.1% year-on-year," it said.

Air traffic to and from Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, South Asia and the Middle East grew. The haze situation in Singapore during the month had no discernable impact on passenger and aircraft movements.

For the first six months of 2013, Changi Airport managed 26.2 million passengers, an increase of 5.0% compared to the corresponding period in 2012. Aircraft movements rose in tandem by 4.6% to 166,800. Yangon (+27%), Taipei (+19%) and Bangkok (+18%) registered the strongest growth, among cities with at least a quarter of a million passengers during the period.

On the cargo front, 150,500 tonnes of airfreight were processed at Changi Airport in June 2013, 1.8% lower than a year before. For the half-year, total cargo volume dipped 2.3% to 877,700 tonnes compared to the same period last year. As at 1 July 2013, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to 250 cities in some 60 countries and territories worldwide. With more than6,600 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 100 seconds.

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.
