The Singapore-Kuala Lumpur route is the busiest international air link in the world, with 30,537 flights recorded between the start of March 2017 to the end of February 2018.
OAG noted that the biggest international routes operate in Asia with 14 of the top 20 busiest links operating to and from destinations within the continent. Eight of the top 10 routes are between Asian cities.
When it comes to the busiest Asian airport hub, Hong Kong trumped the competition, being featured in six of the top 20 routes, followed by Singapore in four, and Kansai as well as Seoul Incheon in three each.

The Top 10 Biggest Airline Money Making Routes in the World (One Generates a Billion Dollars)
by Gary Leff on July 4, 2018
The highest revenue generated per route isn’t New York JFK – London Heathrow. It’s Emirates’ London Heathrow – Dubai. There’s a reason they run 6 daily Airbus A380s. No matter what you’ve heard from whiny competitors who don’t want Emirates in their back yard, they’re going where the money is.
In fact with 5 of the 8 highest-revenue routes for any single airline involving Heathrow it’s no wonder that:
London Heathrow is congested and a slot there has sold for as much as $75 million
British Airways wants to avoid competition (a third runway which would open up capacity)
BA is able to get buy putting the former head of low cost carrier Vueling in charge and degrading the product
They can offer a poor premium cabin product, with plenty of seats.

I don’t get it. Heathrow is rated as one of the worst airports to fly into and to be avoided by many travel lists. If it’s such a revenue maker, should the powers that be want to improve things to be like Changi and make it one of the top airports that people want to fly into?

no
because thats five different companies.
all airlines have to pay baggage handling fee, gate fee, customer servicing fee etc etc to the airport, if the airport didnt outsource these to another company then it is a very big chunk of the airport revenue, also shop rentals, landing fees is based on per aircraft calculations which varies depending on aircraft size, weight, number of passengers etc, not a lot of money, but gate fee is count by the minutes! when aircraft is late pushing back, airlines are penalised with hefty fees
