Minister S Iswaran, told parliament on October 3 that Changi airport could reach 80% of 2019’s traffic levels in 2022, according to comments reported by Flight Global. He said this was based on airlines’ flight schedules.
“We expect [flights – ed. note] to increase further as airlines respond to demand from travelers, following the recent border easing announcements by key travel markets such as Hong Kong, Japan and Taiwan,” the minister was quoted as saying.
