Singapore Changi Airport registered 16.5 million passenger movements from January to March 2024, beating Q1 2019 by 0.5 per cent. 
It handled 5.43 million, 5.35 million and 5.73 million passenger movements in January, February and March 2024 respectively. 
 
These equalled 96, 104.3 and 101.7 per cent of the same month in 2019.
 
For the quarter, aircraft movements totalled 89,400 (94 per cent of the movements in Q1 2019). 
 
Traffic to and from most regions recovered to 2019 levels, or surpassed them. North America was the strongest performer, with traffic exceeding pre-Covid levels by 25 per cent in the quarter.
 
The airport’s top five markets for the period were China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and Thailand. 
 
A mutual 30-day visa-exemption arrangement between Singapore and China, launched on 9 February 2024, already has boosted travel between the two countries, making China Changi’s top market for the quarter.
 
Denpasar (Bali), Manila, Taipei, Seoul and Shanghai were in the top 10 cities that outperformed Q1 2019 by more than 10 per cent.
