Singapore: Changi on track for record passenger numbers in 2019
Global economic headwinds and geopolitical tensions have hit the aviation industry worldwide, but Changi has held its own, with strong demand for regional flights boosting overall passenger traffic. This is despite political issues in Hong Kong and challenges in the Indian market which saw the collapse of Jet Airways. Between January and November last year, Changi handled 61.9m passengers, with more than 4 in 10 coming from South-east Asian countries. Another 26% came from North-east Asia, Changi Airport Group said. This is despite the number of weekly services to Hong Kong having been cut from about 130 as of Dec 1, 2018, to 115 now. The demise of Jet Airways also resulted in the loss of 9 daily India-Singapore services earlier last year. Some of the reduced services have since been replaced by other Indian carriers. <br/>
