    PASSENGER traffic at Changi Airport grew by 10 per cent in the first quarter of this year, on the back of strong travel demand across all its major markets. In particular, traffic to and from China, Malaysia and Thailand enjoyed double-digit growth.

    This comes as a turnaround in the second half of last year spills over into 2016. In comparison, it was a tale of two halves with flat growth in the first half of 2015 after several high-profile air accidents in 2014 dampened travel demand and as carriers cut capacity amid sliding yields.
