Seletar Airport is Singapore's historic private and business aviation airport located roughly 16 kilometers north of the city center. Originally a British Royal Air Force base opened in 1928, it now principally handles business jets, private charters and regional turboprop flights, relieving Changi Airport's traffic load.

The airport is embedded within the Seletar Aerospace Park, a buzzing industrial and lifestyle precinct, offering a unique blend of aviation, history and modern amenities. Visitors can enjoy the aviation-themed playground, scenic boardwalks overlooking wetlands and heritage trails recounting the site's past.

While the terminal is small and private compared to major commercial airports, it offers efficient services catering to business travelers and private flight guests. Dining choices are limited, so planning ahead is recommended. Ground transportation is less frequent than at Changi, mostly relying on taxis and private cars with some public bus options.

Seletar’s charm lies in its peaceful ambience, aviation culture and proximity to nature, making it a refreshing getaway from the busy city, especially for aviation enthusiasts and those seeking a more personal travel experience.
