SINGAPORE sits at one end of four of the world's 10 busiest international air routes, it has been revealed. This boosts the country's aspiration to be Asia's key aviation hub despite the economic downturn. But experts said Changi faces tough competition from other airports in the region, especially from Hong Kong airport, which features in five of the top 10 routes.
The busiest route, based on last year's passenger numbers, is Hong Kong-Taipei. This is followed by Jakarta-Singapore.
Kuala Lumpur-Singapore, Hong Kong-Singapore and Bangkok-Singapore are also on the top 10 list.
