Dedicated facility for private jet passengers aims to make Seletar Airport a 'hub' for luxury market

A dedicated facility for travellers on private jets entering and leaving Singapore aims to grow Seletar Airport into a "hub" for the luxury market. The business aviation centre (BAC), unveiled to the media on Tuesday, has a private drop-off area, a lounge, dedicated immigration security screening as well as other personalised services. With faster clearance processes, passengers can expect to take no more than 10 minutes to breeze through the BAC from entry to exit, before boarding their jet. This is the latest facility to open at Seletar Airport after its new S$80m passenger terminal welcomed its first business passengers in November 2018. Spanning 10,000 sq m, the two-storey terminal is designed to handle up to 700,000 passengers a year. Business travellers are a key part of the Seletar development, which was built to cater to the growing private and business jet market, as well as to free up space at Changi Airport. Since November 2018, SATS Seletar Aviation Services (SSAS) has handled more than 4,000 flight movements at the airport, of which close to 70% are attributed to business aviation.<br/>
