Singapore Changi Airport handled 4.68 million passengers in August 2013, an increase of 9.4 percent on-year. Changi Airport Group (CAG) said air traffic movements grew correspondingly, with 29,600 landings and take-offs during the month -- or 8.2 per cent more compared to a year ago.
In terms of airfreight, 151,000 tonnes of cargo were processed at Changi Airport last month, down 0.5 per cent year-on-year.
CAG said travel demand during the month was boosted by an extra long weekend that included both the Hari Raya Puasa and National Day public holidays in Singapore.
Travel to and from neighbouring countries such as Indonesia and Malaysia, which also celebrated the Hari Raya festival, also registered strong growth. There was a double-digit increase in traffic between Singapore and China, as well as Japan.
On a rolling year basis, CAG said passenger traffic grew to 53.0 million, up 6.6 per cent on-year, while aircraft movements grew to 336,100 -- up 5.2 per cent.
Airfreight movements were stable at 1.85 million tonnes for the 12-month period.
