Singapore Transport Minister S Iswaran gave a speech in Parliament on restoring Singapore’s air connectivity with China in a “safe and orderly” way. How will this opening up affect us?
Currently, Changi Airport is running at 80 per cent of pre-COVID capacity.
But travel with China has yet to pick up, even after the country began loosening zero-COVID restrictions in early December.
As highlighted by Minister Iswaran, Singapore now only receives 700 to 1,000 passengers from China a day. The 38 weekly flights between Singapore and China are currently at less than 10 per cent of pre-COVID levels. In comparison, pre-COVID, there were 400 flights between China and Singapore.
