Singapore’s Changi Airport, voted the world’s best this year by Skytrax, handled 17.6 million passengers in the first three months of 2026, a 2.3% rise year-on-year despite disruptions caused by the Middle East crisis.
Changi’s top five markets for the quarter were China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Australia and India, Changi Airport Group said in a statement as cited by Channel News Asia.
Among its 10 largest markets, Vietnam and China recorded the fastest growth, rising 26.5% and 17.7% respectively.
For the 12 months that ended March 2026, Changi handled 70.4 million passenger movements, a 2.9% increase year-on-year and the highest recorded over a one-year period.
The increase came despite a sharp drop in traffic on Middle Eastern routes after U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran on Feb. 28 triggered a wider regional conflict that disrupted air travel, The Straits Times reported.
In March, passenger traffic between Singapore and the Middle East plunged by 80% year-on-year as airlines cut or rerouted services amid ongoing instability.
