Singapore's Changi Airport handled 70.4 million passenger movements in the 12 months to March 2026, a 2.9 per cent increase year-on-year and the highest ever recorded over a single year, operator Changi Airport Group (CAG) announced on Friday. The milestone came despite an 80 per cent collapse in Singapore–Middle East traffic in March, triggered by a region-wide conflict that followed US and Israeli strikes on Iran in late February. Growth in North Asia and Europe offset the losses, with airlines adding around 90 extra flights to cities including Frankfurt, London and Sydney to meet shifting demand.
