Changi Airport soars as passenger traffic hits 5.8 million in October
The Straits Times
|November 22, 2025
More than 5.8 million passengers passed through Changi Airport in October, a 3.4 per cent increase from the same month in 2024.
This brings the total number of passenger movements in the first 10 months of 2025 to 57.9 million, based on statistics released by airport operator Changi Airport Group (CAG) on Nov 21.
The figure exceeds the 56.2 million passenger movements for the same period in 2019, and is higher than the 55.5 million tally over the same period in 2024.
In January, then Transport Minister Chee Hong Tat said the authorities expected traffic volumes at Changi Airport in 2025 to exceed pre-pandemic levels.
In 2024, the airport saw 67.7 million passengers, just below the 68.3 million recorded in 2019.
