Old Kallang Airport Gateway

The Old Kallang Airport Gateway is the surviving gateway of Kallang Airport, Singapore's first purpose-built civil international airport, built on reclaimed mangrove swampland and opened on 12 June 1937. The airport closed on 21 August 1955 when larger aircraft required longer runways and the new Paya Lebar airport took over. The ruined gateway near Kallang MRT station survives together with the terminal building, a tower and two hangars, forming the Former Kallang Airport Conservation Area gazetted for conservation by the Urban Redevelopment Authority in 2008.
