Airfreight throughput totalled 2.08 million tonnes in 2025, exceeding the previous year by 4.5% and making it one of the best cargo performances in Changi Airport’s history. December 2025, with 6.3 million passenger movements, was the busiest month of the year. The busiest day of the year was 20 December 2025, when over 223,000 passengers passed through the airport. The Singaporean hub recorded growth in all cargo flows, exports, imports, and transshipments, attributed to the front-loading of activities in the first three quarters of the year, and strong global semiconductors demand on the back of AI, electric vehicles, and cleantech growth. CAG added 13 destinations to its network in 2025, the record number of new city links in a year. “2025 was a strong year for Changi Airport as an air hub. We recorded our highest-ever passenger traffic, expanded our network with a record number of new city links, and achieved a strong performance in air cargo amid a volatile global environment,” Yam Kum Weng, Changi Airport Group CEO, said. “As travel demand in Asia grows, Changi is actively seeking to expand its network in the region, including emerging secondary cities which are witnessing rapid economic and promising tourism developments. As we enter 2026, we look forward to creating new opportunities for airlines and businesses. CAG will also continue to enhance the experience of travellers through greater innovation to deliver higher efficiencies and more seamless operations. Our goal is to ensure that Changi stays at the forefront of aviation, offering travellers exceptional airport experiences while serving as a key gateway to the region,” he added. As of January 2026, some 100 airlines operate more than 7,300 weekly scheduled flights at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to over 170 cities in 50 countries and territories.
