Singapore's Changi Airport is well on target to exceed its annual passenger traffic record for 2011 and reach 50 million passenger movements by 2013.
(A 10.1% increase in passenger movements, or 45.1 million passenger movements, registered in the 12 months ending August 2011)
In 2010, Changi Airport handled a total of 42 million passengers, surpassing the 40 million mark for the first time. As a regional hub, Changi Airport has benefited from the increasing demand for air travel in Asia, resulting in this growth in passenger movement.
According to figures from the Singapore Tourism Board, visitor arrivals to Singapore have risen by 16% for the 12 months ending July 2011, fuelled by the opening of the integrated resorts and Singapore's role as an international MICE destination.
