It registered 5.21 million passenger movements.

Changi Airport reported positive performance indicators for the month of June. Passenger movements, for one, went up by 7.7% to 5.21 million.

This was boosted by growth across all regions. Amongst Changi’s top 10 country markets, India – leading the gainers since February this year – clocked a robust 25% year-on-year growth, whilst Vietnam (+12%) and China (+11%) also saw double-digit growth. Bangkok was Changi’s busiest route for the month, followed closely by Kuala Lumpur.

In terms of aircraft movements, Changi recorded a 5.4% growth to 30,920 landings and takeoffs, whilst cargo shipments grew 5.5% to reach 172,040 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.

During the month, Changi Airport established a new city link to Athens, with Scoot’s 4x weekly non-stop services to the city. Indian carrier IndiGo also introduced daily services between Singapore and Bengaluru on 1 July. Meanwhile, Singapore Airlines doubled its weekly services to Rome, bringing the total to 4x weekly, and stepped up its Singapore-Sydney services from 33x to 35x weekly on 18 June.
