Of late, businessman James Nair gets irritated when he is at the airport: He is often accosted by touts. The 45-year-old, who flies between Singapore and India about three times a month, said touts have approached him on several occasions.
They look out for people who travel light and ask them to take on some luggage as theirs. Payment is offered.
'It's not a nice thing to see, especially in our posh airport. And it's a problem that's been getting worse recently,' the Singaporean said.

When The Sunday Times visited Changi Airport last week, the luggage touts were seen plying their trade despite enforcement efforts. They appeared to be smooth operators. In groups of five or more, the mostly male touts in their 30s and 40s scan the check-in lanes for flights to places like Chennai, Sri Lanka and Yangon.
