Changi and Suvarnabhumi absorb Europe-Asia passenger overflow, straining resources amid jet shortages

[SINGAPORE] The closure of Middle East airports – key transit points between Asia and Europe –  due to the ongoing Gulf conflict has diverted travellers to South-east Asian aviation hubs such as Singapore and Bangkok.

While this shift has benefited European and Asean airlines, it is also straining the capacity of both carriers and airports, with at least one industry observer describing the situation as “a troubling crisis”.
