alberttky 0 Report post Posted September 22, 2013 Sg PM is known to travel by RSAF F50. That's only on rare occasions and if he's not in a hurry to somewhere nearby. Almost all trips are made on commercial flights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No need to waste taxpayers' money unnecessarily! Besides, ain't this greener... using an existing flight that will fly with or without him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the unlikely event of a fatal crash, the country's matters can be continued. However, they could've taken two separate COMMERCIAL flights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I remember one year when Singapore PM, SM and MM all went to BWN for some wedding function, one went on the morning SQ flight, one on the BI flight, and one on the afternoon SQ flight.

Presumably, one of those SQ flights is a VVIP charter....the last time there are 2 scheduled SQ-group flights to BWN in a day was when SQ had 757s or Silkair was Tradewinds operating MD87s.

Nope. Both were commercial flights. I was on duty that day. But that was at least before 2005, so sometime back already.
