SINGAPORE, Sept. 29 (Xinhua) -- Changi Airport has handled 4.65 million passengers in August this year, a 0.6 percent on-year decline, according to Changi Airport Group (CAG) on Monday.
Aircraft movements decreased by 4.2 percent, with 28,360 landings and take offs in August, CAG said.
The airport said it saw double-digit increases in passenger movements between Singapore and Hong Kong, Ho Chi Minh City as well as Sydney among Changi Airport's top 10 cities. However, traffic to and from Bangkok continued to drop by 11 percent on- year, due to passenger concerns over its political instability.
Total passenger movements from January to August reached 35.84 million, a 1.1-percent increase from the same period last year.
Changi Airport operates over 100 airlines as of Sept. 1 this year, which connects the city-state to more than 300 cities in 70 countries and territories around the world, CAG said.
