To reinforce its position as a major hub for aerospace, Singapore is developing the Seletar Aerospace Park . The park spans 320-hectare of purpose-built land and infrastructure, including the Seletar Airport. 160 hectares of land is dedicated for the use of aerospace industry, and the remaining is occupied by the airport. 

Seletar Aerospace Park boasts of an upgraded airport designed to support business and general aviation activities, including a 1,836-metre runway, aircraft parking areas and engine run-up bays. An instrument landing system will be installed by 2014.

The integrated aerospace park is set to host a wide range of activities including Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of aircrafts and components; manufacturing and assembly of aircraft engines and components; business and general aviation; training and research & development.

Companies situating themselves at the Seletar Aerospace Park stand to benefit from the economies of scale and increased efficiency. The park’s shared infrastructure, close proximity of suppliers, customers and partners within a tightly-knit aerospace business community will also give a significant boost for new industry collaborations.
