Singapore's Changi Airport passenger traffic drops 3.8 pct in January

Xinhua, February 27, 2015 Adjust font size:

A total of 4.42 million passengers passed through Singapore's Changi Airport in January, down 3.8 percent year on year, according to latest figures released by the Changi Airport Group (CAG) on Friday.

The decline was due to the strong base last year, which saw the Chinese New Year falling on the last day of January in 2014.

Traffic to and from South Asia in January grew 5 percent year- on-year, mainly driven by a growing number of travelers on India routes. Passenger traffic to Thailand recorded the biggest growth, which increased 34 percent, CAG said.

Flight movements in January fell 5.2 percent to 28,800, while airfreight movements rose 1 percent, with 151,800 tons of cargo handled during the month. Endi
