SINGAPORE: Changi Airport handled 5.43 million passenger movements in April, a 5.1 per cent year-on-year increase, said Changi Airport Group (CAG) on Friday (May 25).
Passenger traffic to and from Europe increased by 13 per cent and this was boosted by travel on new services to London and Munich.

These growth figures come as Singapore Airlines strengthened its connectivity to Australia and India.
Singapore's flagship carrier increased the frequency of its Sydney service from 33 to 35 times a week, and its Canberra service from thrice-weekly to daily.
The airline also added an additional service to Ahmadabad, India, bringing the total to five times weekly.
