Changi Airport in Singapore welcomed 67.7 million passengers in 2024, reaching 99.1% of its 2019 pre-pandemic passenger count. December saw the busiest month with 6.41 million passengers, marking a full recovery to December 2019 levels. The airport also experienced a 14.8% increase in passenger traffic compared to 2023. In addition to passenger growth, Changi Airport saw a 14.6% increase in airfreight handled in 2024.
Changi Airport handled 67.7 million passengers in 2024, which is 99.1 per cent of pre-pandemic levels in 2019 and just shy of a full recovery.
About 366,000 flights took off from or landed at Changi Airport in 2024, up from 328,000 in 2023. The airport handled 382,000 flights in 2019. CAG attributed this growth to major improvements in cargo flows between Singapore and China as well as the United States, in addition to the recovery of Singapore’s electronics exports and re-exports.
Two new freighter airlines, which carry goods in bulk, also began services to Singapore in 2024. They are China’s Shandong Airlines, which flies between Shenzhen and Singapore, and South Korea’s Air Incheon, which operates the Seoul to Singapore route with a stop in Haikou, China.
