Freight volume dipped by 4.4 percent in August compared to the same month a year ago, the Changi Airport Group (CAG) said in an official statement on September 20.

Shipments passing through the airport during the month reached 146,400 tonnes. Month-on-month, Changi saw shipments fall further from almost 152,900 tonnes in July 2012.

For the first eight months of the year, cargoes handled have totaled 1.2 million tonnes, a drop of 1.9 percent from the comparable period last year, the CAG reported.
