Record-breaking 2010 for Changi Airport
Changi Airport Group (CAG) said more than 42 million passengers passed through Changi Airport last year, which surpassed the previous annual record of 37.7 million passenger movements recorded in 2008.
It represented a 13 per cent increase over passenger movement in 2009.
CAG said besides the full year record, the monthly and daily traffic records were also broken in December 2010.
Passenger traffic for the month was 4.06 million, up 6 per cent from a year before.
CAG said the airport's strong performance last year was underpinned by robust traffic growth to and from Southeast and Northeast Asia which increased 18 per cent, buoyed by the rapid expansion of low cost carriers.
Strong growth was also registered in 2010 for airfreight handled, which rose 11 per cent to 1.8 million tonnes, and aircraft movements, which gained 9.7 per cent to 264,000 flights.
