SINGAPORE\u2014Singapore\u2019s Changi Airport handled 4.42 million passengers in September, a 3.9 percent increase year-on-year, according to Changi Airport Group (CAG).<\/p>\n

In its latest figures released Thursday, CAG said aircraft landings and takeoffs also grew 5.3 percent to 28,460.<\/p>\n

On the cargo front, 155,100 tons of airfreight were processed last month, 4.9 percent higher compared to last year’s figures.<\/p>\n

CAG said Changi Airport registered 14.3 million passenger traffic movements during the third quarter, a growth of 5.8 percent compared with the corresponding quarter last year.<\/p>\n

Boosted by an increase in passengers travelling with low-cost carriers following a period of depressed demand, this represents the highest ever traffic Changi has achieved in a quarter.<\/p>\n

For the quarter, traffic was positive for nine of Changi Airport’s top 10 country markets with China registering the strongest growth of 14.9 percent year-on-year.<\/p>\n

However, passenger movements between Singapore and Indonesia declined 0.4 percent even as Indonesia remained Changi’s top market for the period, followed by Malaysia, China, Australia and Thailand.<\/p>\n

In the first nine months of the year, CAG said 40.9 million passengers travelled through the airport, 2.1 percent more than the same period a year ago.<\/p>\n

Aircraft movements also increased 0.8 percent to 257,370 while cargo shipments held steady at 1.37 million for the year to date.<\/p>\n

Jakarta continued to top the list of Changi Airport’s busiest routes so far this year, followed closely by Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Hong Kong and Manila.<\/p>\n

Traffic between Singapore and Bangkok has registered growth of more than 20 percent year-to-date, the highest among Changi’s top 20 destinations.<\/p>\n

As of Oct. 1, more than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 320 cities in about 80 countries and territories.<\/p>\n

With more than 6,700 weekly scheduled flights, an aircraft takes off or lands at Changi roughly once every 90 seconds.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
