Upgraded Seletar Airport will resume normal operations on Thursday
Seletar Airport will resume normal operations
on Thursday, close to three years after work started to lengthen the
existing runway.
During the upgrading, which kept the runway out of bounds for at least 12 hours a day, private jet operators based at Seletar had no choice but to shift their operations to Changi Airport.
Announcing the completion of the project, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore and Changi Airport Group said in a joint release that the new runway measuring 1.84km - close to 250m more than its original length - will be able to support larger jet operations, as well as heavier take-off loads.
The airport upgrading works are part of plans to develop the area into Singapore's next aviation hub. A key growth sector is business aviation, which has seen a compounded annual growth rate of 17 per cent in aircraft movements from 2007 to 2010.

Abstract
We report the results of an experimental comparison of di erent airplane boarding methods. This test was conducted
in a mock 757 fuselage, located on a Southern California soundstage, with 12 rows of six seats and a single aisle.
Five methods were tested using 72 passengers of various ages. We found a significant reduction in the boarding times
of optimized methods over traditional methods. These improved methods, if properly implemented, could result in a
significant savings to airline companies.
