Seletar Airport

Seletar Airport (IATA: XSP), nestled in Singapore’s northeastern Seletar district, holds the distinction of being the nation’s first international airport, established in 1928. This historic aviation hub initially served as a British Royal Air Force base before transitioning to civilian use. Today, Seletar Airport specializes in general aviation, private jets, and aerospace maintenance, carving a niche as a vital complement to Singapore’s global aviation ecosystem.

Cutting-Edge Facilities and Aerospace Innovation. Renowned for its world-class Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) services, Seletar Airport anchors the Seletar Aerospace Park—a thriving cluster of aerospace firms like Rolls-Royce and Bombardier. The airport’s 1,836-meter runway, extended in 2019, accommodates larger business jets, while its state-of-the-art control tower (operational since 2018) enhances air traffic management. Passengers enjoy premium lounges, swift check-in, and bespoke services tailored to corporate and leisure flyers.

Seamless Connectivity and Strategic Advantages. Strategically located 15 kilometers from Singapore’s Central Business District, Seletar Airport offers unmatched accessibility via the Thomson-East Coast MRT Line’s Seletar Airport station, opened in 2020. Its proximity to industrial zones and Johor Bahru (Malaysia) via the Johor-Singapore Causeway positions it as a regional gateway for business travelers.

From servicing historic propeller planes to cutting-edge private jets, Seletar Airport remains a cornerstone of Singapore’s aerospace ambitions.
