    REVIVING the air hub is a top and immediate priority for Singapore, in tandem with other moves to strengthen the country's status as a global hub port, said Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung, in his ministry's addendum to the President's address at Monday's opening of Parliament.

    "Covid-19 has decimated air travel and set us back decades," he said, noting that Changi Airport has lost about 50 per cent of its air links and 95 per cent of scheduled passenger services.
