Singapore Airport

Seletar Airport (XSP / WSSL)

In the north of Singapore, around fifteen kilometres from the centre and Marina Bay, Seletar (XSP / WSSL) is the city-state's airport dedicated to business aviation. Its 1,836 m runway, extended in 2011 to take heavier aircraft, accommodates most business jets, from light to large-cabin.

It brings together the operators of Seletar Aerospace Park and a dedicated business aviation centre. It is the preferred field for a fast, discreet arrival as close as possible to the city.

Seletar, from RAF base to business hub

Opened in 1928 as a Royal Air Force base, Seletar is the oldest airport in Singapore. Handed over to the city-state in 1971, it gradually specialised in general and business aviation.

The inauguration of a new terminal in 2018, with a business aviation centre shared by the operators, strengthened its role as Singapore's private gateway. It is managed by the group that operates Changi.

Changi (SIN / WSSS), for the largest aircraft

In the east of the island, around 24 km from the centre, Changi (SIN / WSSS) is one of Asia's major hubs, with three 4 km runways. Its infrastructure suits the largest aircraft and intercontinental departures at full weight.

The private JetQuay terminal offers dedicated check-in, immigration and reception. Depending on your aircraft and itinerary, our teams choose between Seletar and Changi.

Which airport to choose: Seletar or Changi

Seletar is favoured for proximity, speed and discretion; Changi for the largest aircraft and the longest non-stop flights departing at full weight. In both cases, our teams determine the most suitable field and coordinate customs, immigration and transfer for a smooth arrival at the heart of Singapore.

Singapore, a Southeast Asian crossroads

A leading financial centre, Singapore brings together business, innovation and the art of living, from Marina Bay to Gardens by the Bay. The city-state ranks among Asia's main business hubs and serves as a gateway to the whole region.

Kuala Lumpur, Jakarta, Bali, Bangkok, Phuket, Hong Kong and the Maldives are within a few hours' flight, making Singapore an ideal base for reaching across Southeast Asia.
