You should have seen what Seletar was like when COVID kicked off in early 2020. People with money hedged on the fact that Singapore was one of the better places to be during the pandemic, so a lot of millionaires and billionaires were landing into Seletar and stacking their jets on the apron. That’s why they made the airport so nice because it was primarily meant to be a corporate terminal for VIP and VVIP. Firefly probably only makes a tiny fraction of the airport’s revenue. And oh, don’t forget ST Aerospace who does a lot of MRO work for both private and commercial customers……

[@hc8714]

and the funniest part is that 100M terminal that will never be recouped from, a rare case in sg.

[@NEAAFFAIRS]

​@hc8714 well, that's the cost of acquiring more money and investment into the country.

[@htolas]

This is also where Air Force 1, and many other planes exclusively carrying heads of state / government land and take off from.

[@hachirokutrueno]

@@htolas Nope, they do not take-off/land from Seletar :)

[@hc8714]

@@NEAAFFAIRS lol you clearly do not know how bad the situation is at seletar.

[@joelrslee]

Random fact but, as it was a RAF base, a lot of the residential streets (which previously housed RAF officers) surrounding Seletar Airport are named after streets in London (e.g. Piccadilly, Oxford St, Regent St, Edgeware Rd).

[@weesgaming7021]

Also got Baker Street around the Aerospace Park area. But don't expect to find our beloved detective there.

[@bohsengchua7122]

I had been working as a pilot in Seletar from 1985 to 2008 .. as far as I know, Seletar during British times was a base for seaplanes and flying boats .. not so much of activities of land aeroplanes during the war .. because the British knew very well about its geographical limitation, and the requirements during the war

[@jinngeechia9715]

If you noticed all the sheltered walkways at the Seletar Aerospace area which includes the airport, they are all "wings". You can see they designed aircarft ailerons on them. Catch it briefly between 5:21 to 5:25.

[@iaexo]

That's a cool detail!

[@FlightFormula]

Interesting detail, thanks!

[@cra_55]

There's a proposed plan to build a new MRT line that'll include a station at Seletar Airport. If that plan goes through, it would be a huge boost to the connectivity of that place.

[@psoon04286]

A few more small low cost operators will start to use Seletar if the MRT connects with the airport

[@wtIUpITp1E0wMsydV19c0FUmIXvCU]

Nope. This was never considered in any master plan whatsoever. And it doesn't make economic sense

[@eatdriveplay]

Seletar is also home to several dozen private jets, mostly owned by charter and medevac companies. It is a popular base as there’s a good number of wealthy people chartering jets in and out from there.

[@JaceTan-90]

Would like to share with the people watching this video: Seletar to Subang, and the return is honestly the best route if you can afford it. That is because its within the heart of Singapore (more northern part beside Woodlands and Kovan - Sengkang areas) to heart of Greater Klang Valley (which is right in the middle between all of the major townships in Selangor - Shah Alam, Petaling Jaya) with shorter time to Kuala Lumpur City Centre since you are halfway there. Also, Firefly is the only one with their Fokker Airplanes that provides water and snack (because they are expensive too). Malindo or Batik air, which they operate locally only in Malaysia from Subang Airport as their base, do not provide snacks and water, but are relatively the same price or more expensive than Firefly. Its also because Firefly its under Malaysian Airlines but budget option just like Scoot for Singapore Airlines and Jetstar for Qantas. Couple of cons though: 1. Do not use Firefly to connect flights with Malaysia Airlines as its 1 hr away from Subang Airport to KLIA 1 (and yes, there is KLIA 1 and 2 unlike Changi Airport's integrated Terminals, you can check yourself) and it would cost you upwards of RM 65 excluding the tolls and traffic. 2. Do not use Firefly to connect with other flights outgoing from Singapore Changi either. At this moment, there are no direct public transport option from Seletar airport to Changi airport. There might be only one bus (102) that can get you to Hougang MRT but you will need to switch to alternative public transport. And Grab (Uber equivalent) would charge you about SGD 25 and above. 3. Fights are generally expensive due to the airport taxes imposed on both Subang and Seletar individually. 4. Many more timings and options are available at Singapore Changi Airport, and Malaysia's KLIA 1 or KLIA 2. 5. Fokker aircrafts (cruising around 20,000 ft) can't fly as high as commercial jets (30,000 ft). Meaning if there were thunder clouds (and there will be aplenty all the time given the tropical climate Singapore and Malaysia sits in, you might get hit by turbulence more often or longer. So yea, you can decide for yourself and see. 🤣

[@SeanLau83]

correction, ATR72 is not Fokker

[@flamingchuucygnet8983]

"Fights are generally expensive due to the airport taxes imposed on both Subang and Seletar individually." pretty sure fights are relatively cheap...the aftermath tho might be quite expensive depending on how much damage you cause.

[@jamess8175]

[@FlightFormula]

Thanks for sharing, really helpful!

[@timngim583]

Only idiots will fly to Subang and Seletar if they have onward connecting flights from KLIA and Changi. It should be origin and desination traffic only

[@ChoySekMunSimon]

The main selling point for people to hop on a shuttle flight between Subang Airport to Seletar is all to do with distance within the greater Klang Valley. Subang Airport is literally just nestled between the cities of Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, and Petaling Jaya at less than half the distance to KLIA 2. This makes it even more attractive and the bus ride from Seletar to the main business district in Singapore is significantly shorter than a bus or train shuttle between Kuala Lumpur to KLIA or KLIA 2. Great inside into the flight between Subang to Seletar. Please keep these clips coming.

[@sv386a]

Just a small note, seletar airport is pronounced as sir-lee-tar. Overall great video, as a Singaporean gotta say its quite underrated

[@ohuehue2818]

its sir leh tar

[@eatdriveplay]

Singapore is small, but not ‘that’ small. There are actually 5 airports in Singapore + 1 airstrip, 3 of them with full length runways occupying about the same area as Changi - but are military airbases for quite a sizeable Air Force.

[@yuuunarukami7006]

where are they? literally only thought sg had changi

[@eatdriveplay]

@@d.ddablue. technically all of them are listed on aviation charts as airports. lol. We can play this game all day.

[@eatdriveplay]

@@yuuunarukami7006 Before Changi, Paya Lebar was the international airport, with a full length 4km runway. It has been converted to military and civilian-aircraft conversion and alternate emergency for Changi. Tengah Airbase is a military airport with a full length 4km runway. These three occupy roughly the same land area. There’s Sembawang, a helicopter base with a shorter 1km+ runway and Seletar with a 1.8km runway. In the southern islands, there’s an emergency airstrip runway for the military.

[@bohsengchua7122]

Please, don't mention military air bases, its a sensitive issue, no one likes to mention air bases of other countries .. Seletar airport has little practicality, so please mention: Changi International Airport

You can still see the old Seletar terminal through a fence! It is no longer open to public, but it is still located along West Camp Road, just opposite the runway from the new terminal. Simple colonial style buildings. Love them as I was involved in their refurbishment

Technically Kuala Lumpur has 3 airports cause KLIA 2 is an airport of its own being a just low cost airline airport only while Subang is like a propeller and private jet airport. The main airport is the KLIA main terminal.

[@timngim583]

No just 2 airports. KLIA2 is NOT an airport of its own, its just 2nd terminal of KLIA. Just like Changi has Terminal 1, 2,3 and 4. That's why the airport codes KUL are the same. Subang is a totally different airport but not KLIA 1 and 2. You were just being lied to by Tony Fernandez.@@josephmanzuni8593

This is cool! I’ve never been to Seletar, now very keen to try. Although one correction, Firefly is not Malaysian Airlines’s attempt at a low cost airline. Its its attempt at a regional airline, with full service as expected from Malaysian Hospitality. Firefly operates the ATRs and some 737 which are all-economy, as opposed to Malaysia Airlines 737s which normally has 16 business seats.

[@FlightFormula]

I am interested in your correction, do you have any more information on this? Firefly describe themselves on their own website as - "the low-cost carrier owned by Malaysia Airlines"

[@yewchuanjie2481]

[@rawrrio8741]

Love the old terminal! I was involved in its recent refurbishment - it now belongs to SLA and looks spanking new

[@TCOphox]

If anyone else is trying to transfer from Seletar to Changi airport for cheap, you should take the *102 bus* from Seletar, go eight stops until you arrive at a weird roundabout with two bus stops labeled 'Before' and 'After'. You'll be getting off at the 'After' bus stop. Walk shortly to the 'Before' stop, the one closest to the church. Then wait and board the *858 bus* to Changi Airport which serves the basement bus stops of Changi Terminal 3,1,2 in this order. It should take under an hour. Just pay with your Mastercard/Visa credit card or Singaporean cash at the bus driver's seat.

We were in a classroom for a lot of time and we could hear all the planes taking off and landing. The ATC there controls so many different planes which sounds stressful.

[@axan50transportproductions]

There is a railway line from KL to Singapore, however that is not direct. You would have to take the ETS service from KL Sentral to Gemas Jn which takes max 3.5 - 4 hours. Gemas is currently the furthest south the electrified network goes. From Gemas, you would have to switch onto a diesel locomotive hauled passenger train for 4 hours to JB Sentral. Then, you can board the Tebrau Shuttle(after clearing customs and immigration) that takes 5 mins to cross the Causeway into Woodlands Train Checkpoint Singapore. This option kinda sucks as your journey is split into three parts(no good if you have to wake up in the middle of the night to change trains) but the Malaysian Government is duplicating and electrifying the line south of Gemas to JB so we might be able to run potentially non-stop overnight or daylight trains to and from JB and KL in the near future.

[@lzh4950]

& from Woodlands Train Checkpoint you have to catch a connecting public bus to Marsiling train station (from where its another ~50min ride to downtown Singapore; even further than from Changi Airport), that sometimes gets cancelled I heard if the Checkpoint or its adjacent roads get congested

[@axan50transportproductions]

@@lzh4950 There are many buses from Woodlands Interchange that stop at Checkpoint like 903, 912(B), 913, 950 etc. Plus there is 170 from Larkin to Queens st terminal in the city or 160 to Jurong East. Finding buses out to the city or MRT station isn't a huge issue but if you are hauling 15-20kgs bags along with you, it can make for an uncomfortable experience as public buses in Singapore do not feature special luggage storage facilities. The alternative is to take a taxi but that is $$$.

[@sussy001]

[@andii256]

my aunt used to live in Shah Alam, literally next door to Subang airport. but it’s so inconvenient to use Subang/Seletar airports. flights from Changi are cheaper, getting to Changi is easier, at one point flights from Seletar kept getting cancelled so everyone had to rebook on flights from Changi anyway. many years ago i think Firefly flew Changi-Subang, but once they moved to Seletar, there was no reason for me to fly Firefly simply because Seletar airport is so inaccessible lol

[@lzh4950]

Seletar Airport doesn't have an ILS system as nearby Malaysia complained that that'd impose 54m height limits on its nearby Pasir Gudang industrial estate, so I imagine the airport is more vulnerable to disruption due to weather e.g. all flights were cancelled when haze blew from nearby Indonesia's forest fires in Sep 2019

[@fadlya.rahman4113]

For Subang Airport, it was partly a military airbase. Also, most planes that fly out of there is a regional turboprop, while most of the jets go to KLIA. I guess maybe it's easier to manage the flight from and to the airport if the aircraft of the same type.

[@arkhera4375]

@@FlightFormula all landings in Seletar take the same flight path down from Malaysia, but at some point there were some false beliefs purported by Malaysian politicians to the people about the ILS usage in Seletar imposing a building limit on potential development in Pasir Gudang which fueled discontent. As a result Malaysia imposed a no fly military zone smack in the middle of the flight path any aircraft would have to take to land in Seletar. The best part is the implementation of the ILS at the Singapore aiport was done at the request of state-owned Malaysia Airlines and approved by the Malaysian Ministry of Transport. In a temporary agreement by both countries, Seletar airport would not use any ILS technology at the airport and Malaysia would suspend its abruptly imposed no fly military zone, essentially throwing millions of dollars in investment into the airport down the drain and limiting its potential for more regional carriers.

It's pronounced Sa (like the Sun) -lee (first syllable in leaf) -tar (like road tar). Subang is also Sue-bung (like how you would say lung).

I kept hearing solitaire airport :x

[@psgistheworstclubineurope]

I disagree with your pronounciation of Seletar. Should be Sir (ser or se with little emphasis on R), lay (le as in ukelele), and tar.

[@psgistheworstclubineurope]

However as you said, "le" can also be pronounced as lee.

There are 5 airports in Singapore.

[@johannapfelburg6286]

Not rly. Even if you consider TAB and PLAB, it's still 4 airports considering Changi Air Base shares the runway with Changi Airport

[@salakau777]

Sembawang Air Base makes 5.

[@crazybirv_milk]

this is called seletar airport

[@ianwyj1]

Sir'lee'tar is the local pronunciation

[@bohsengchua7122]

I had been working as a pilot in Seletar from 1985 to 2005 .. Frankly, Seletar is nothing worth mentioning .. it has some limitations that unable to improve, or increase its ability to expand or profitability .. in the eyes of regional passengers, unable to connect flights is its major shortcoming .. so, nothing to mention about Seletar
