SINGAPORE, Jan. 19 (Xinhua) -- Singapore's Changi Airport will work with multiple Chinese airlines to operate more than 600 supplementary flights to 15 cities in China from Feb. 1 to March 8, more than double the number added during the same period in 2025, amid an anticipated increase in travel demand over the coming Chinese New Year holiday, Changi Airport Group said on Monday.
