Seletar Airport (XSP/WSSL) is Singapore's oldest airport, opened in 1928 as RAF Seletar, and now serves as a general aviation and turboprop hub in the Seletar Aerospace Park. Located in northeastern Singapore, it handles private jets, charter flights, and Firefly's scheduled turboprop services to Malaysia. Its modern passenger terminal opened in 2018, offering a quieter alternative to Changi.
💡 Local Tip
Frequent visitors arrive only about 60–90 minutes before departure—Seletar's small terminal clears quickly, and there are few airside amenities, so eat or buy supplies before security.
🚖 Getting There
Take a taxi or ride-hailing service (Grab) for the fastest trip to downtown Singapore; the journey usually takes 25–40 minutes. Public buses serve the airport and connect to nearby MRT stations such as Sengkang or Punggol, but require transfers. Allow extra time during peak hours, as Seletar is in a quieter industrial and aerospace area with less frequent transport.
