1995/10 - New Air Traffic Control tower

1995

The RSAF opened a new 61m-tall ATC tower at Sembawang Air Base to better meet its growing air traffic needs.

The new Air Traffic Control (ATC) tower at Sembawang Air Base, which opened on 30 October 1995, was specially designed to meet the RSAF's growing air traffic needs. This was unlike the RSAF's existing ATC towers, which had been handed over from the British and, in the case of Paya Lebar Air Base, the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore. At 61m tall, the new ATC tower was the second tallest such tower after the one at Changi Airport.
