Changi Airport Group: Race of the Lifetime!


It's refreshing, exciting, and absolutely worth watching out for.

What are we talking about?

In case you haven't heard, the 5th of September 2009 will be a battle on the runway (or tarmac) between the world's most loved sports car, Porsche Carrera, versus a Boeing 747, provided by one of Singapore's carrier, Jett8 Airlines.

Two hundred grandstand tickets are up for grabs for fans who wish to hear and experience the race up close on the tarmac of Changi Airport. Members of the public who spend a minimum of $30 in a single receipt in the public areas of Terminals 1, 2 or 3 from 15 August to 23 August 2009 will qualify for a lucky draw to win a pair of tickets. Besides the grandstand tickets, another 500 tickets will be available for an exclusive live screening of the race at the public area of Terminal 3. Ticket holders will also be invited to enjoy the festivities at the airport on the race day.

According to my sources employed with the Changi Airport Group, apart from featuring these 2 reknowned items, other divisions from the airport group could have also been involved to provide greater publicity as well. One suggestion was the involvement of the aviation rescue and fire-fighting unit's Rapid Intervention Vehicles (for those not sure what these vehicles do, they're essential fire-fighting foam tenders capable of near immediate speedups, that is necessary to arrival at a fire scene to extinguish aircraft fires).

Hmm... what be interesting to see these 3 giants involved: a Boeing 747, a Porsche Carrera, and now, an aviation fire-fighting foam tender!

Changi Airport Group: A New Beginning...


First off, let me clarify by saying that this is not the official Changi Airport Group website and neither is it endorsed by the said organisation.

However, this blog was created from an avid aviation enthusiast's perspective, particularly from the field of emergency planning and business continuity. Why these two specific ares you ask? For one obvious reason: an airport community regardless of its infrastructure as well as hardware can never be "perfect" unless there exist some form of planning and response to emergency, crisis as well as disaster scenarios.

With recent occurrences in the aviation community where there have been reports or even "leaks" of potential non-desirable covert events taking place, it is a no brainer issue that airports around the world take a serious view and investment in aviation security as well as emergency response planning.

As this site developes, there will be other issues related to the aviation industry and particularly on Changi covered as well. So stay tuned!
