Changi Airport, a symbol of connectivity and innovation, has achieved a significant milestone. In the first quarter of 2024, the airport witnessed a surge in passenger traffic, surpassing the numbers seen before the pandemic struck.
The statistics are impressive: 16.5 million passengers passed through Changi Airport’s gates in Q1 20241. This figure not only exceeds the pre-Covid-19 levels but also marks a 0.5% increase compared to the first quarter of 20192.
A closer look at the monthly data reveals a steady climb:
The resurgence of travel from China played a pivotal role, with the country becoming Changi’s top market for the quarter. This was bolstered by a mutual 30-day visa-exemption arrangement between Singapore and China4.
Changi’s top five markets for Q1 2024 were China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia, and Thailand. Notably, North America emerged as the strongest performer, with traffic exceeding pre-pandemic levels by 25%5.
As Changi Airport continues to soar, the aviation industry looks on with optimism. The airport’s success is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of global travel in the face of unprecedented challenges.
