Singapore airport passengers rise 11.2% in Feb

Passenger traffic at Singapore’s Changi Airport, Asia’s second-largest after Hong Kong, rose 11.2% in February from a year earlier, partly boosted by the bi-annual Singapore Airshow.

Traffic between Singapore and the Middle East grew by more than 20%. Other regions like the Americas, Europe, South Asia and Southeast Asia also registered double-digit growth.

Cargo movements rebounded after January figures fell due to the Lunar New Year holiday, rising 12.4% from February 2011.

Changi serves more than 100 airlines and is a base for several carriers including Singapore Airlines (SIAL.SI), Tiger Airways (TAHL.SI) and Qantas’ (QAN.AX) JetStar Asia.
