About Chongqing Airport Group

Chongqing Airport Group was established in 2003 and joined Capital Airport Group in 2004. Its main business areas include airport management, property, ground transportation, information network, advertising, commercial and other services.

About Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport

Chongqing Jiangbei International Airport has ranked among the top 10 airports in China for five consecutive years. The airport is undergoing a major expansion which includes a new terminal of 80,000sqm and a new runway. When the expansion project is completed next year, Chongqing Airport will have a capacity of 30 mppa and 260,000 air traffic movement. Chongqing will start Phase III expansion next year. In the master plan by 2040, Chongqing Airport will have 4 runways and a handling capacity of 65 to 70 million, to achieve an international air hub status. The airport handled over 11 million passengers in 2008, a 7% growth from the year earlier. The airport handled 160,000 tonnes of cargo, a 12% increase from 2007.

Changi Airports International’s (CAI) contract with Saudi Arabia’s General Authority of Civil Aviation (GACA) to co-manage the King Fahd International Airport at Dammam, has yielded significant results. The S$65 million contract was inked in November last year and the Airport has since seen a boost in passenger traffic growth, airline networks and airline services. The airport received 2.22 million passengers in the first half of this year, an increase of 7% over the same period last year.

This positive traffic development was made possible through a consolidated KFIA-CAI effort, combining local insights and international best-of-class expertise to successfully leverage on route development opportunities and improved service standards.

Airlines which have increased their frequencies include Qatar Airways and Emirates, which raised frequencies by 43% and 40% respectively. Middle East Airlines has put on 4 additional weekly services from Beirut to Dammam for a total of 7 weekly services.

New airlines which commenced operations to KFIA during the first half of 2009, include NAS Air and Garuda. NAS Air, one of two low cost carriers in Saudi Arabia, commenced operations to Dammam on 1 st April 2009.

Mr. Wong Woon Liong, Chief Executive Officer, CAI, says GACA’s implementation of a very liberal aviation policy for Dammam also helped contribute to this recent success.“ GACA’s moves allow airlines to operate without any frequency restrictions to and through KFIA. I am proud that our collaboration has started in a positive note in these toughest of times. We hope to contribute more to KFIA’s success in the future not only in route development opportunities but in other areas as well.”

Engr. Khalid K. Almz’el, Director General, KFIA, adds “KFIA’s 7% passenger traffic growth is higher than that of other major international airports in the region. Such impressive numbers during this difficult time is testament to the strong origin-destination traffic potential of the Eastern Province and the efficient management of the Airport. This consolidates KFIA’s position as the de-facto gateway to the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia.”

With this definitive milestone, we will use our expertise to support the expansion of the Durgapur Aerotropolis into a major industrialised area.”

Mr Lee Seow Hiang, Changi Airport Group’s Chief Executive Officer, says the deal sets a milestone for the Group. “We are excited to be a part of this significant development in the Indian aviation sector. We hope to inject our technical expertise and experience, drawn from over more than two decades of running Singapore Changi Airport - one of the world’s best airports - to help develop Durgapur Airport and its surrounding area to its fullest potential.” He adds, “The Durgapur Aerotropolis marks the Group’s first investment in an aerotropolis concept, and we believe the plan for this airport city will help deliver a vibrant new economic hub for the West Bengal region.”

Mr Arvind Pande, BAPL Chairman says, “CAI has an enviable track record and stands for the best in terms of experience and technology in this space and that is reflected in the number of successful projects they have executed.This alliance will add momentum to the Durgapur project and enable us to turn this into one of the most efficient airports in the country.”

Changi Airports International (CAI) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Middle Airports Authority of Vietnam (MAA) to invest, develop and operate Phu Bai International Airport in the city of Hue. This marks the first time a foreign investor will be working exclusively with Vietnam's aviation authority.

President S.R Nathan was the Guest-of-Honour at the signing of the MOU between Mr. Chow Kok Fong, Chief Executive Officer of CAI, and Mr. Hoang Thanh, Director General, Middle Airports Authority, Vietnam. President Nathan was accompanied by Dr Vivian Balakrishnan, Minister for Community Development, Youth and Sports, and Mr. Lee Yi Shyan, Minister of State for Trade and Industry.

Phu Bai International Airport is located in the City of Hue, which was the capital of Vietnam between 1744 and 1945. It is ideally situated as the gateway to Thua Thien Hue Province and the Middle Region. Hue is best known for its historic monuments, and has earned itself a place in UNESCO's World Heritage Sites. In 2007, the central government announced Hue as the Festival City and intends to develop Hue over the next 3-5 years as the Festival City of tourism and cultural heritage of Vietnam. The airport currently handles more than 500,000 passengers per annum and was designated Vietnam's fourth international airport in August 2007.

On the deal, Mr. Chow Kok Fong, Chief Executive Officer of CAI, said: "The airport is a critical component of Hue's tourism infrastructure and will generate the kind of economic momentum which Hue deserves. Following this signing, we hope to work closely with the Civil Aviation Administration of Vietnam (CAAV) to finalize the detailed agreement as soon as possible. We want to share with our counterparts here our experience in developing and operating Changi over the past quarter of a century, in particular, our airport management processes and route development expertise in raising the number of international flights. With the right infrastructure and promotion of the tourism attractions here, there is no reason why the passenger volume in this airport should not treble within 5 years."
