## Description

Commissioned in the 1930s alongside the British naval base and once known as HMS Simbang, Sembawang Air Base on Singapore's north coast is now the Republic of Singapore Air Force's helicopter station, flying Chinooks and Super Pumas. There are no civilian operations, no IATA code and no cargo infrastructure of any kind. The Johor Strait shoreline nearby is shipyard rather than airfreight territory. Commercial air cargo for Singapore is handled at Changi (SIN), with ocean freight moving through the city-state's container ports.
