Changi Airport handled 4.48 million passengers in May 2015, about 2.6 per cent higher than in the corresponding period of 2014. Further, aircraft traffic increased to 29,000 (0.4 per cent), while cargo traffic decreased by 0.3 per cent to touch 157,000 tonnes in May 2015 as compared to May 2014. Traffic growth in May 2015 was largely due to increase in travel demand across Asia, offset by a decline in Europe and Southwest Pacific travel. Among Changi Airport’s top 10 country markets, passenger movements to and from China and Thailand registered the strongest growth of 9.5 per cent and 18 per cent respectively during May 2015. Over a hundred airlines operated at Changi Airport as of June 1, 2015, connecting Singapore to over 320 cities in some 80 countries and territories worldwide.
