Passenger traffic at Singapore’s Changi Airport rose 7.5% year-on-year in March 2011. The airport catered for 3.71 million passengers during the month, despite a 5.0% drop in passengers on routes to Japan. Routes to Tokyo saw a 9.6% year-on-year decline in traffic. Aircraft movements for the month increased 13.0% to 24,400 as low-cost carriers (LCCs) recorded strong growth. LCC passenger traffic rose 22.8% during the month, and accounted for about 24% all traffic at Changi during the first quarter of the year. In total, Changi registered 10.9 million passenger movements in Q1 2011, an increase of 9.5% compared to the same period last year. This was helped by double-digit growth for traffic to and from Eastern Europe, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia. Changi handled 70,400 aircraft movements during the same period, up 12.3% year-on-year.
