Industry Output and Passenger Movement Data
Singapore's aerospace sector output for the first quarter of 2024 saw an impressive 25.4% year-on-year growth bolstered by greater demand for aircraft parts and MRO jobs from commercial airlines on the back of strong air travel demand globally. This is particularly notable against a 1.8% contraction in the broader manufacturing sector for the same quarter.
Maintaining the positive momentum, the aerospace sector expanded by 8.2% year-on-year in April 2024. A comparative analysis reveals that the sector has clearly surpassed pre-pandemic levels with monthly output from January to April 2024 consistently exceeding 2019 figures by 28 to 35 points. The sector foresees an increase in aircraft maintenance jobs due to the continued strong demand for air travel. A net weighted balance of 88% of aerospace firms anticipate sustained output levels in the second quarter of 2024. |

Passenger movements at Changi Airport in the first quarter of 2024 have exceeded that of the first quarter of 2019 by 0.5%. The airport handled 5.43 million, 5.35 million and 5.73 million passenger movements in January, February and March respectively which were at 96%, 104.3% and 101.7% of the traffic in the corresponding months of 2019. Aircraft movements remained at 94% of the levels recorded in the first quarter of 2019.
