2017 Traffic
Yes, February 2016 had an extra day and so it looks like the underlying growth trend is 13-14%. Strong. At 26Mppa already, the rest of 2017 needs only single-digit growth to get close to 28M. MAN is adjusting to playing in a Man's game, and it is breathtaking. From less than 18M in 2010 to a likely 30+M by the end of this decade, that's a change of gauge. There is now a noticeable spreading of the peaks, it is no longer all over by 11.00am. ATC will need to be handy with single-runway operations this summer in the mid-day period.
As for SQ's traffic, worry not. From what I have seen the figures look good on SIN and picking up on IAH. I would go as far as to say the route is sustained by MAN, with a traffic split roughly 50% SIN-MAN and vv, 25% MAN-IAH and vv, and just about 25% between SIN-IAH and vv.
