The services are operated by 83 airlines that connect Singapore to 189 cities in 60 countries, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS).
The CAAS said in a statement that the growth was led by increases in flights to South Asia and North Asia, in particular the Indian sub-continent.
“This is not surprising, given that India and China are Singapore’s fastest growing markets for business and tourism,” said Director-General and Chief Executive Officer Lim Kim Choon.
In addition, for the first eight months of this year, passenger movements between Singapore and these two countries experienced year-on-year growth of 17.5 percent for India and 11.3 percent for China.
Cities that are seeing more flights from Singapore include Chennai, Bangalore and Cochin in India; and Shanghai, Hangzhou and Fuzhou in China.
In addition, there are two new destinations in Changi’s air network – Coimbatore in India and Kathmandu in Nepal.
There are also more flights between Singapore and cities in Australia and New Zealand, the CAAS said.
