Singapore's Changi airport July volume off 2.4pc to 155,000 tonnes

Singapore's Changi Airport posted a 2.4 per cent decline in cargo to 155,000 tonnes while passenger traffic was up one per cent to 4.58 million in July year-on-year.

Among Changi Airport's top 10 markets, Hong Kong, India and Vietnam registered double-digit increases.

China travel registered a year-on-year growth for the first time since January, with strong growth from Shanghai, Nanjing, Haikou, Hangzhou and Qingdao.

Traffic between Singapore and Thailand continued to be impacted by the political situation, registering a year-on-year drop of 12 per cent, the ninth consecutive month of decline. Bangkok traffic was down 16 per cent.

Passenger traffic during the month was supported by an increase in air travel between Singapore and Northeast Asia and South Asia, offset by weaker performance on some Southeast Asian routes.
