Seven of the world’s top 10 busiest international routes were in the Asia-Pacific region of which three in Southeast Asia. The Kuala Lumpur-Singapore route had 4.89 million scheduled seats in 2023 and is the busiest route in the world. Jakarta-Singapore (7th) and Bangkok-Singapore (9th) are among the top 10. In the last three months of 2023, the Hong Kong-Taipei route has overtaken the Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route as the world’s busiest international flight route. Changi Airport is the 5th busiest airport with international seat capacity of 36.1 million in 2023, +66% higher 2022 but still -15% below 2019. The pace of recovery has slowed, attributed to the slower return of tourists from mainland China. Dubai International Airport held once again the title of the world’s busiest international airport in 2023, with 56.5 million scheduled seats. London Heathrow ranked 2nd and Amsterdam 3rd.

The Johor Bahru-Singapore Rail Transit System (#RTS) is on track for completion by 2026. When operational, the travelling time between the 2 cities would be reduced to just 5 minutes. With the cities now better connected than ever, passenger movement at Changi Airport Group (#SIN) and Senai Airport Terminal Services (#JHB) is likely to evolve. 1) #Flights between #Singapore and #Malaysia While business traffic is less affected, some leisure and #VFR traffic from Singapore to Malaysia could flow to JHB. Given Senai's lower operating cost base, airlines will be able to offer lower airfares to attract travellers. Case in point: The PSCs for flights ex-JHB is only a fraction of what SIN/XSP charges. ▶ SIN: SGD 65.20 (SG-46.40, L7-8, OP-10.80) ▶ XSP: SGD 29 (SG-25.90, OP-3.10) ▶ JHB*: MYR 11 (Domestic) / MYR 35 (ASEAN) / MYR 73 (Non-ASEAN) *H8 and D8 excluded The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore can consider L7 and OP tax exemptions or concessionary PSCs for flights to Malaysia to preserve Changi's regional connectivity. Catching flights from JHB have yet to gain traction among Singaporeans due to a lack of reliable transportation options across the causeway. This is set to change with the RTS. Plus, the convenience of not having to clear immigration on arrival when flying domestically would makes the option even more attractive for Singaporeans. 2) Renaissance of Senai's international expansion The flow of low cost traffic from SIN to JHB is not limited to flights within Malaysia. As Singapore becomes better connected to Johor, Singapore would effectively add 6 million people to Johor's outbound travel market. AirAsia can consider launching flights to top Singaporean leisure destinations in #China, South Korea and #Japan from JHB. This would, however, require improving connectivity between Bukit Chagar and Senai - the current sole shuttle bus service from JB Sentral running at hourly interval will not work. With the right pricing strategy and transport infrastructure, Senai has the potential to be the leading low cost travel hub for the entire southern region. 3) New hinterland for Changi #Johor has a population of 4 million residents. While being geographically closer to Singapore than KL, KUL remains the main international gateway for Johoreans. The RTS puts Changi in better position to access Johor's market and boost its outbound travel market to 10 million people. Umrah traffic could be a good segment to explore. Land Transport Authority (LTA) Singapore can consider extending the Cross Island Line to link Woodlands North, Seletar Airport and Changi. For a seamless train to air transfer, check-in/bag drop facilities at Woodlands North could also be considered. #changiairport #airports #airport #airplane #airplanelovers #aviation #travel #avgeek #singaporeairlines #airlines #airlineindustry #airline #airlinenews #asiapacific #asia #airportoperations #passengerexperience #visualization #dataanalysis #data #transport #train #mrt #lrt

MAHB proposes redevelopment of Kuala Lumpur’s second airport as a complete aerospace ecosystem. There will be terminal refurbishments included in the package, but any attempt to grow the airport’s passenger numbers significantly, especially if it means more jet services, is likely to meet with stiff local opposition. #businessaviation #wviation #airports #airport #malaysia #malaysian #runway #asia #malaysiabusiness
