Changi's passenger movements jumped 4% to 4.54m

Thanks to these air travel demand boosters.

Singapore Changi Airport handled some 4.54 million passenger movements in July 2013, an increase of 4.0% compared to a year ago. Air traffic movements for the month also grew by 6.9%, with 29,000 landings and take-offs recorded at Changi. 

Airfreight movements increased by 1.1% on-year, with 160,000 tonnes of cargo passing through Changi Airport during the month.

Strong demand for air travel to and from Southeast Asia, Northeast Asia, Southwest Pacific and the Middle East contributed to the growth in passenger traffic for the month.

Among Changi’s top 10 cities, passenger movements between Singapore and BaliDenpasar, Sydney, Taipei and Tokyo saw double-digit increases in July 2013.

For the period of January to July 2013, 30.8 million passenger movements were recorded at Changi, 4.9% more than the corresponding period in 2012. Aircraft movements increased in tandem, increasing by 4.9% to 196,000. Airfreight shipments grew 1.3% to 1.1 million tonnes for the same period.

As at 1 August 2013, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to 250 cities in some 60 countries and territories worldwide. With more than 6,700 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 100 seconds.

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.
