Singapore is currently one of world's Top 10 growing airports

Which four other Asia Pacific airports made the cut as of the month of February?

Bangkok, Beijing, Jakarta and Manila also expanded its available scheduled seat capacity faster than virtually all other major airports. Combined, the five Asia Pacific airports represented 3.5 million additional seats for the month or 19% of the global growth amount, which is reflective of still-growing demand.

"The exponential growth in Asia Pacific is representative of the increased mobility of businesses and people alike within the region and reflects their increasing economic confidence," said Phil Callow , Chief Executive Officer UBM Aviation, whose brand OAG collected the survey data and published them in the latest February 2012 FACTS report.

Beijing in particular is set to overtake the busy US airport of Atlanta as the largest airport in the world.

"As Beijing continues its surge towards claiming the number one spot from Atlanta, the Asia Pacific aviation communities must address their infrastructure plans to ensure that the increasing demand continues to be met."

Singapore also breached the 500,000 mark in terms of volume growth in available seats for the month.

"Seven airports added over 500,000 seats each in February – Istanbul Ataturk, Bangkok, Beijing, Dubai, Jakarta, Singapore and Bogota. Based on frequency growth, these 7 airports are again at the top," said OAG.

Singapore's brisk growth mirrors the regional phenomena, according to research data.

"To put the growth in a little further context, in terms of global growth by airport, the top 10 Asia Pacific airports are in the top 22 globally (the numbers above representing each airports position for the month of February). The lowest growth rate for the month here is Hong Kong at 8% however it is the 3rd largest airport here (although almost the same size as Bangkok)," said OAG.
