The Changi Air Base (IATA: SIN, ICAO: WSAC) is a military airbase of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) located at Changi, in the eastern part of Singapore. It comprises two separate installations, situated to the east and west of Singapore Changi Airport. Since the expansion of the airbase runway, it now co-shares facilities with the civilian airport, an arrangement that will remain in place until a fourth runway is completed on the eastern side of the base, running parallel to Tanah Merah Coast Road. In the meantime, the extended runway is used for both military and civilian aviation operations.
The air base plays a vital operational role within the RSAF, hosting multiple key units such as 121 Squadron, 112 Squadron, 145 Squadron, the Field Defence Squadron, the Air Logistics Squadron and the Airfield Maintenance Squadron. These squadrons are tasked with a range of missions including transport, aerial refuelling, strike capability and base support operations. Its official badge features the motto Together in Excellence.
