Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Transport between 1 March 2021 and 15 May 2021, what is the number of passengers who flew from India and arrived in Changi Airport as transit passengers en route to a further destination.
Reply by Minister for Transport S Iswaran:
1. Transfer and transit passengers from India have not been allowed at Changi Airport since commercial scheduled flights ceased in late March 2020.
2. Between 1 March 2021 and 15 May 2021, two travellers were granted special dispensation to fly from India through Singapore to their final destination on an Indian Government-approved chartered flight operated by an Indian carrier.
