Changi falls from 7th to 58th on the world's busiest airport list
Singapore Airlines also 'far from being out of the woods', says Ong Ye Kung

ONCE the seventh busiest airport in the world for international passenger traffic, Changi Airport has now slipped to 58th place.
At present, the airport serves only 1.5 per cent of Singapore's usual passenger volume and 6 per cent of the usual number of passenger flights - the weak figures compounded due to the lack of domestic air travel, said Transport Minister Ong Ye Kung in Parliament on Tuesday.
