Location
Sembawang, Singapore
Sembawang Air Base (ICAO: WSAG) is a military airfield located in the Sembawang district of northern Singapore, operated by the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF). It has served as a key defence installation for Singapore since the country's early years of independence. The base has its origins in the British Royal Navy's presence in Singapore, originally functioning as HMS Simbang, a Royal Navy Air Station, before being handed over to Singapore following British military withdrawal in the early 1970s. It subsequently became an RSAF installation. Sembawang Air Base is a restricted military facility with no commercial passenger operations. It occasionally supports military exercises, logistics, and humanitarian operations in the region.
