Singapore: Changi Airport marks record traffic of 62.2m passengers in 2017
Changi Airport saw a record 62.2m passengers pass through its doors in 2017, it announced on Tuesday. The full year figure - which extends the record 60m passengers announced on Dec 18 - is up six per cent from the previous year, Changi Airport Group said. The China and India markets led the growth with increases of 12% and 16%, respectively. This was aided by the opening of new city links in these two countries and increased flight frequency to existing destinations, CAG said. In addition, 10 new links have been created between Singapore and cities in China, with Hebei Airlines flying to Singapore for the first time serving Harbin, Shijiazhuang and Yantai. Four new destinations were also marked in India, with more frequent flights to Delhi, Bangalore, Chennai and Coimbatore on JetAirways and IndiGo. <br/>
