AFP, Singapore
Singapore is seeking to further liberalise air services with its neighbours including China and India to maintain the city-state's Changi Airport as a regional aviation hub, former prime minister Lee Kuan Yew said. "The competition for Changi's hub position has grown keener with newer, bigger airports around all with the latest equipment," Lee said Saturday at a function to celebrate the airport's 25th anniversary. "Changi must continue its efforts to upgrade and update its services and facilities in preparation for the challenges ahead," said Lee, who holds the influential position of minister mentor.
