Written Reply by Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen to Parliamentary Question on Paya Lebar Air Base Relocation on 12 Nov 2024

12 November 2024

This article has been migrated from an earlier version of the site and may display formatting inconsistencies.

Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Defence (a) whether the relocation of Paya Lebar Air Base is on track for 2030 and beyond; and (b) whether a specific target year for the relocation to be completed has been fixed and, if not, why.

Minister for Defence, Dr Ng Eng Hen:

In 2020, MINDEF replied to a Parliamentary Question on this matter that the relocation of Paya Lebar Air Base (PLAB) would likely occur around 2030 or beyond, after Changi Air Base (CAB) and Tengah Air Base (TAB) have been expanded to house the existing assets at PLAB.

Despite some project delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect the relocation of PLAB to take place within the previously projected timeline. With various projects still in development, a definitive date for relocation now, would be premature.
