In particular, traffic to and from China recorded a surge in August, with half a million Mainland travellers processed through the airport in the month, more than seven times the passenger traffic between the two countries in January 2023 when China's border reopened, he said. “As we move towards 2024, we will continue to work with airlines to reinstate more city links and build capacity on existing routes to strengthen Changi Airport’s connectivity to the rest of the world,” Lim said.
