Seletar Aerospace Park (The Oval)
North East
Seletar Aerospace Park is a major industrial and aviation hub located adjacent to Seletar Airport in Singapore. Developed to strengthen Singapore's position as a global aviation center, the park spans 140 hectares and hosts a diverse cluster of aerospace activities including maintenance, repair, overhaul, design, manufacturing, and aviation training. The park integrates modern aerospace facilities with heritage conservation, preserving over 200 black-and-white colonial bungalows, many of which have been converted into dining outlets and training schools, notably within an area known as The Oval. The park supports numerous multinational corporations such as Rolls-Royce, Pratt & Whitney, Airbus Helicopters, and Singapore Technologies Aerospace, fostering innovation and skilled employment. Infrastructure upgrades, including runway extensions and avionics improvements at Seletar Airport, enable the accommodation of larger aircraft and increased operational capacity. With its blend of industry, history, and amenities, Seletar Aerospace Park offers a unique insight into Singapore's thriving aerospace sector and colonial heritage.
