It was also higher than the 5.21 million passengers that passed through Singapore in June.

Aircraft movements rose 3.6 per cent to 31,910 landings and takeoffs compared to the same period last year, while airfreight throughput grew 11.2 per cent to reach 179,550 tonnes.
More than 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to some 380 cities in about 90 countries and territories.
There are more than 7,000 weekly scheduled flights, and an aircraft takes off or lands every 90 seconds, CAG said.
