IN a year when the aviation industry faced strong headwinds, Changi Airport saw a milestone 54.1 million passengers for 2014, although growth was a modest 0.7 per cent year on year, while flight movements dipped 0.7 per cent to 341,390 take-offs and landings.
Meanwhile, cargo crept up marginally by 0.3 per cent to 1.84 million tonnes, as higher imports and exports managed to offset lower transhipment volumes, airport operator Changi Airport Group (CAG) said on Thursday.
