Stronger India links: Passenger traffic at historic high
Passenger traffic between Singapore and India hit a record high of 5.5 million in 2024, up 12% from 2023 and 15% above pre-pandemic levels. This marks the first time annual traffic between the two countries has crossed 5 million. India is currently Changi’s sixth-largest market. The airport connects to 16 Indian cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, with around 280 weekly flights operated by six airlines.
Enhancing experiences & amenities for Indian travellers
