First Passenger Flight at Paya Lebar
On 28th October 1959, a Qantas’ Boeing 707 jetliner touches down at Paya Lebar Airport on its inaugural Kangaroo Route flight from Sydney to London.
By 1960, Paya Lebar Airport is handling more than 300,000 passengers and 30,000 aircraft movements a year. It welcomes 11 airlines operating 125 weekly flights. Visitor arrivals to Singapore hit 100,000.
Over the next two years, the runway at Paya Lebar Airport is extended from 2.4km to 2.7km. This makes it one of the longest runways in Asia.
A BRIGHT FUTURE
Future of Changi
Today, Changi Airport is renowned for its unrivalled passenger experiences, which have become synonymous with global connectivity, clockwork efficiency and unique, thoughtful services.
As the number of passengers we welcome continues to rise, and the needs of those passengers become increasingly sophisticated, our challenge is to raise our standards even higher.
It’s a challenge we are already embracing, with creative solutions and signature experiences that will redefine air travel for generations to come.
Changi East
Passenger traffic at Changi Airport is expected to grow by 3–4% every year for the next 20 years. At this rate, current airport capacity will be reached by the late 2020s.
The Changi East development is a response to this expected growth. It’s a bold strategy to maintain Changi Airport’s and Singapore’s competitive edge for the long term.
