At present, there are five airports in Singapore, among which Singapore Changi Airport and Shili Airport are international civil aviation airports. The other three airports, Valleyba Airport, Sambawang Airport and Dunga Airport, are used for military purposes.
Singapore's Changi Airport is also one of the busiest airports in Southeast Asia and even the world, and it is also the most important stopover for kangaroo routes from Australia and New Zealand to Europe. As one of the five busiest airports in Asia, the annual passenger flow of Changi Airport has exceeded 30 million. Although Changi Airport has a history of more than 20 years, it is still rated as one of the most comfortable airports in the world. At present, Changi Airport has four terminals and two runways, and the number of transit passengers will reach 66.7 million every year.
In addition, there is a runway with a length of1.620m at Shilida Airport in the north of Singapore, which is dedicated to connecting scheduled flights, group charter flights or private jets that receive tourist attractions in neighboring countries. In 2005, the authorities plan to expand the runway to 2000 meters to receive Boeing 737, the first international civil airport in Singapore.
Valleba Air Force Base has a runway of 3,760m, which is allowed for foreign air forces to visit. It is understood that the US Air Force is often stationed at this air base. Singapore also has Sambawang Air Force Base and Tenggara Air Force Base.

The low penetration rate of private cars in Singapore is mainly due to many restrictions imposed by the government. Private car buyers must first apply for a limited number of car ownership certificates. The price of automobile ownership certificate is equivalent to the price of ordinary imported cars, and the validity period of automobile ownership certificate is only ten years. In addition, Singapore is also the first country in the world to adopt electronic road pricing system. Automatic electronic toll collection systems will be installed on roads entering the city center, and vehicles entering the city center will pay automatically during rush hours. Due to the high cost of buying private cars and the convenient public transportation network, most Singaporeans choose not to buy cars, which effectively solves the traffic jam problem that is common in other cities.
