The airport noted (22-Aug-2014) traffic growth 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. Among Changi Airport's top 10 country markets, Hong Kong, India and Vietnam registered double-digit increases. Travel to/from China registered a year-on-year growth for the first time since Jan-2014, fuelled by strong growth in traffic to/from Shanghai, as well as secondary cities such as Nanjing, Haikou, Hangzhou and Qingdao. Traffic between Singapore and Thailand continued to be impacted by the political situation, registering a year-on-year decline of 12%, the ninth consecutive month of decline. Bangkok traffic was down 16% for the month.
