Financial analysis of Seletar Airport (Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore)

Seletar Airport is Singapore’s secondary civilian airport, currently mainly focusing on training flights, business aviation, medical evacuation, cargo operations and maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) flights. The airport is managed by the Changi Airport Group. It is foreseen that commercial passenger turboprop traffic will be moved from Changi Airport to Seletar by the end of 2018. For this, a new Passenger Terminal Building was built. Financial analyses were carried out, based on various traffic scenarios, that provided insight in future financial performance of Seletar Airport.

Position paper on international developments in Aviation (Dutch Government)

Towards the end of 2008 the world was changing rapidly. Oil prices had soured to US$ 150 per barrel, urging the industry to look for alternative fuels and more fuel-efficient aircraftS and thus changing network models. At the same time consolidation was ongoing and aviation in the Middle East was growing with double digits. Political hurdles, such as emission trading and open skies agreements added even more complexity. Taken these developments into account, a vision was written to give politicians a better insight as well as a view on what these developments may cause for aviation in the Netherlands and Schiphol in particular.

Through incremental costing methodologies and extensive modelling margins were determined and supported court cases in the US.
