Seletar Aerospace Park sits on a site that plays a significant role in Singapore’s aviation story.
It all began in 1928, when the British Royal Air Force (RAF) set up a military airbase here. Five years later, RAF Seletar (as it was known then) became the headquarters of the RAF Far East Command and the region’s air defence frontline.
The military airbase also doubled up as Singapore’s first unofficial civilian airport. In 1930, the first commercial flight to land at the airport brought passengers, air mail and strawberries from Jakarta. Other airlines that operated through Seletar in the early 1930s included Qantas Airways and Imperial Airways.
To this day, Seletar continues to be an aviation gateway. Make yourself comfortable on one of the plane-shaped benches and watch the planes take to the sky!
