At the start of\noperations, incoming passengers numbered 397 and departing passengers\n406. In the following months, the figures rose to thousands. The growth\ntrend continued through the year. December 2025 marked the peak for the\nyear with arrivals of 8,851 and departures of 8,057. \u2018In roughly one\nyear since operations began, there has been an increase of more than\ntwentyfold compared with the initial operational period,\u2019 he added.\nAccording to Yanuar, the rise in passenger movements indicates growing\npublic confidence in Singkawang\u2019s air connectivity.
