In this role you are expected to engage and collaborate closely with an assigned portfolio of airlines to grow the Changi air hub, as well as identify and attract new airlines in the process. You may also be involved in engagements with government agencies to promote traffic and connectivity growth at Changi. To do these, you will perform traffic analysis, prepare and present business cases to airlines, as well as keep abreast of emerging market trends and developments, and analyse the implications on Changi’s air hub growth.

You will also work with airlines to roll out joint campaigns to promote Changi Airport as the preferred transfer hub, and influence travel through Changi Airport. Partnering internal divisions and interfacing with external stakeholders to drive development and ensure smooth implementation of various initiatives is also an intrinsic part in this position. You could be involved in other projects whenever opportunities arise.

• Self-motivated, resourceful, analytical, meticulous and a strong team player.
• Strong verbal, written communication, stakeholder management and presentation skills.
