Civil Aviation Resource Network August 17, 2022: According to the South China Morning Post, Singapore Changi Airport handled 7.3 million passengers in the second quarter ended June this year, according to data compiled by analytics and consulting firm Sobie Aviation. become the busiest airport in Asia.
Delhi's Indira-Gandhi International Airport and Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi International Airport are tied for second place with 3.2 million, while Seoul's Incheon Airport and Singapore's Kuala Lumpur International Airport are fourth and fifth with 2.9 million and 2.6 million respectively. The former "Asian overlord" - Hong Kong has fallen out of the top ten airports in Asia.
The list is a bit different from 2019, when Hong Kong International Airport handled 19.1 million passengers, followed by Seoul Incheon (17.6 million), Singapore Changi (16.8 million), Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi (12.3 million) and Taiwan Taoyuan Airport (12.3 million). Before the outbreak, Hong Kong International Airport held the title of Asia's busiest hub airport. By 2022, Hong Kong International Airport is only a "fraction" of its data for the same period in previous years. The airport handled just 591,000 passengers in the quarter ended June.
Aviation analyst Brendan Sobie said that as Hong Kong still has strict epidemic prevention and control requirements, the gap between Singapore Airport and it will continue to widen throughout the year. "In order to attract people to Hong Kong, you have to remove these requirements completely because there are no other places." He also said that Changi Airport may return to 70% of pre-pandemic levels in 2022, while Hong Kong Airport is currently only 5% .
