Exceeding half of pre-pandemic figures for the first time.
Some 2.9 million passengers departed, transferred or arrived on flights in Changi Airport in June, compared with 5.8 million in June 2019, according to latest figures released by the Changi Airport Group on Sunday .
Independent analyst Brendan Sobie of Sobie Aviation said:"50 per cent was always a conservative estimate. We will continue to see a bit of growth every month." Connections to regions outside East Asia including Europe, Oceania and South Asia have also crossed the 60 per cent mark this quarter. A total of 85 airlines now fly from Changi Airport to 130 cities worldwide.
According to data from aviation intelligence firm Cirium seen by The Straits Times, while Asia's airports are still operating at much lower volumes than those in Europe, the Americas and the Middle East, the restoration of some Asian airlines' capacity is fast catching up with or have exceeded their counterparts elsewhere.
