Seletar takes off

SINGAPORE’S Seletar Airport has reopened to commercial flights this week for the first time since the pandemic began, with Malaysian-based LCC Firefly taking line honours as the first airline to fly out from the hub.

The airport serves the northeast region of Singapore and is located approximately 16 kilometres from Changi Airport and 25 kilometres north of the main commercial city-centre.

Historically, Seletar has served as a secondary destination to Singapore for turbo-prop aircraft in a bid to decrease the heavy load carried by Changi Airport.

Bus and taxi services all connect the hub to the CBD, with rail on offer via bus interchange.
