THE WORLD'S BEST AIRPORT?

摘要

Aviation came to Singapore in 1930 when the first commercial flight landed at Seletar Air Base. The colonial government then decided to build a new airport at Kallang Basin, which welcomed its first aircraft five years later. Officially opening on June 12,1937, it operated for 15 years with a hiatus during the Japanese occupation from 1942-1945. When it closed in 1955, operations moved to Paya Lebar, a new airfield built on reclaimed marsh land, which required the relocation of a number of local residents.
