Among them the prizes, granted by International Air Transport Association, Business Traveller and Skytrax, which named it the best airport of the year in 2006.
The Airport has two parallel runways, both equipped with four sets of Instrument Landing System to guide landing aircraft safely under any weather conditions. The third runway is currently used as a part of Singapore Air Forces infrastructure, but the future expansion plans are aimed to converting it for passenger use.
