  • Integrating the Planning of Airports and the City: the Singapore Story 413858 1 78981 9
    Integrating the Planning of Airports and the City: The Singapore Story As a former British colony, Singapore had flourished as a trading port-of-call due to its strategic location along the shipping route between Asia and Europe. However, neither its STUDIES URBAN SYSTEMS past colonial links nor geography could guarantee its continued success in the oncoming jet age. For the newly independent government formed in 1965, there were several fundamental national priorities, such as housing, job creation, education and infrastructure. However, a strategic decision was taken to build a new commercial international airport at Changi—a hefty mega-infrastructure that carried both substantial costs and risks for a land-strapped island which already had four airports. Such a decision bore far-reaching consequences in terms of land use, transport, Story The Singapore the Planning of Airports and City: Integrating industrial planning, defence, residential and social spaces. Integrating the In this Urban Systems Study, readers will learn about the comprehensive planning that went into the development of Planning of Changi Airport, and the integrated manner in which it was carried out. It additionally explores Singapore’s experience in Airports and navigating the unique urban-planning constraints and trade- offs brought about by both civilian and military airports, and examines the systematic approach taken to capitalise the City: on airport developments to catalyse urban and economic development. The Singapore Story “ Changi Airport is our major investment to exploit our geographic location. Singapore must be prepared and ready to seize every opportunity that comes its way. Whether we have been extravagant in investing in an airport of this size and level of sophistication is a question worthy of a rhetorical rejoinder.

  • Factsheet - RSAF Units to Be Housed at CAB (East)
    Factsheet - RSAF Units to be Housed at CAB (East) The main operational units located within CAB (East) are 145 Squadron (operating the F- 16D BLK 52+), the Flying Support Squadron (FSS-CAB), the Air Logistics Squadron (ALS- CAB) and the Airfield Maintenance Squadron (AMS-CAB). 145 SQUADRON The squadron motif depicts a valiant hornet in an attack posture to deter potential aggressors. The yellow and black strips represent speed and agility. Its blazed-green eyes and forward arching sting epitomise its readiness to strike in swift response to defend its nest, at day or night. Established on 1 st Apr 1984 at Tengah Air Base, the Squadron first started flying the A4 Skyhawks. In 1992, 145 Squadron was the first Squadron to fly the indigenously developed A4-SUs. It has since undertaken a wide spectrum of roles that focuses on RSAF operational requirements and converting new pilots from Flying Training School to operational fighter pilots. The professionalism and operational readiness of the crew in 145 Squadron were exemplified through the achievement of numerous awards which includes the coveted Best Fighter Squadron in 1998 and 2000, and RSAF Hot Shot Competitions. After nearly 2 decades, the squadron ended its A4-SU operations on 30 Apr 03 to prepare for 1 relocation and operation of the new F16D Blk 52 +. On 3 Jul 2004 , 145 Squadron began operating from Changi Air Base (East) with the induction of the F16D Blk 52 +, the latest in RSAF's inventory. The squadron will have a total of 20 F16D Blk 52 +. The F16D Blk 52 + is equipped with state-of-the-art Conformal Fuel Tanks, enhanced radar with greater detection range and improved ground mapping capabilities, and an advanced targeting pod, which will enable the Squadron to conduct precision day and night operations at a greater combat range and duration.

    Issue 02 / 2014 ACI World AIRPORT DEVELOPMENT NEWS A service provided by ACI World in cooperation with Momberger Airport Information www.mombergerairport.info Editor & Publisher: Martin Lamprecht [email protected] Founding Editor & Publisher: Manfred Momberger Focus on SOUTH-EAST ASIA BANGLADESH The Government will restart the process of constructing Bangabandhu International Airport initiated during its last term, but backtracked at the end of its tenure. The new airport, about 60 km from the capital Dhaka, could be an alternate for the city’s ‘Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport’ (DAC). "We will start afresh the proposed Bangabandhu Airport. I've already held a meeting and had discussions about it," said Civil Aviation & Tourism Minister Rashed Khan Menon after inaugurating the high-speed taxiway built under a project of the Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) at DAC. The high-speed taxiway will enable incoming aircraft to reach the terminal at DAC in a shorter time, requiring less fuel and saving time for passengers. Menon also said he would give top priority to upgrading the Cox's Bazar Airport to boost the tourism industry. To this end, he would complete all formalities in three months. The proposed Bangabandhu ‘Sheikh Mujib International Airport’ is to be built under a public- private partnership and is expected to cost up to USD 7.2 billion. Several sites are under study, with Char Janajat on the southern banks of the Padma river being the most likely. – Bangladesh has three international and five domestic airports, all of which are under-used for lack of proper management. On 12 May 2014, the Government approved a proposal to appoint an international conglomerate for implementation of the expansion work of Dhaka’s ‘Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport’, aiming to double its capacity.
