    SINGAPORE: Changi Airport said it saw the highest growth in passenger traffic in six years in February.

    Passenger traffic grew 21.5 per cent to 3.11 million passengers.

    Passenger traffic on both full service and low cost carriers grew.

    All of Changi's top 10 country markets registered year-on-year growth, with particularly strong passenger growth on routes to and from Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Hong Kong and China.

    On the cargo front, air freight movements at Changi in February increased 16.2 per cent on-year to 130,578 tonnes.

    Aircraft movements increased 11.4 per cent to 19,617 during the month, with both full service and low cost carriers registering increases.
