Singapore's Changi Airport posts record passenger numbers for 2015
Singapore's Changi Airport reported a new annual record for passenger traffic in 2015, with 55.4m passengers (up 2.5% on 2014) and more than 346,300 aircraft movements for the 12-month period. Changi Airport Group CE Lee Seow Hiang said 2014's dip in numbers was a result of several aircraft accidents and losses, coupled with depressed industry yields. This, he said, had led to a "relatively weak first 6 months" in 2015, but that the second half of the year saw a marked improvement in numbers. "Our efforts have yielded some positive outcomes. We have seen both full-service and low-cost carriers add capacity in recent months and this has resulted in stronger passenger growth of about 5% for the second half of the year," he said. Aircraft movements rose 1.4% overall in 2015. <br/>
