Operating Indicators for February 2019
SINGAPORE, 22 March 2019 – Singapore Changi Airport managed 5.13 million passenger movements in February, a 4.0% year-on-year increase. Aircraft movements remained stable with 29,900 landings and takeoffs, while airfreight throughput fell 8.3% to reach 137,000 tonnes, compared to the same period last year.
For the month of February, passenger traffic growth was observed across all regions, with Europe and North America recording double-digit growth. With the Lunar New Year holidays falling in the month of February, traffic between Singapore and China grew 6%. The slowdown in world trade saw all cargo flows – exports, imports and transhipments – weakening.
