Which airport in Singapore

According to ASN the flight came from "Singapore (unknown airport)". Since this is the only source I've removed the reference to Singapore Changi Airport. If someone has a source for this, feel free to add it again.--ospalh (talk) 11:01, 7 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Departure Airport is confirmed to be Changi WSSS

The departure airport was Changi, ICAO identifier WSSS. Singapore is a tiny Island. There was only one International Airport for B-747 freight commerce and that was Singapore Changi Airport. I flew for Flying Tigers and out of Singapore for over twenty years. I flew the Flight 66 segment many times. It flew through Changi to the old Kuala Lumpur airport in Subang with one runway, which is no longer used for International flights. Unfortunately, since the accident occured in Malaysia the accident report is not on line. I have the company accident report overseas, I'll try to upload it next year when I return.

Here is a link that confirms the departure airport as WSSS: http://aviation-safety.net/database/record.php?id=19890219-0.

I'll restore the original poster's Changi reference. 121.97.45.2 (talk) 10:42, 3 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
