I love my local airport ;D

Singapore Changi International WSSS!

Construction started in June 1975, opened in 1981 and only fully completed by 1989, it's an old airport! About half of the current airport(that was completed in 1989) is built on reclaimed land and swamp! Its so old, in fact, its the first aviation hub anywhere in asia! Yet, its still fighting with younger airports in Asia like the Hong Kong!

It's one of the world's most-awarded airports (280 awards from 1987-2007 ;D), home to the world's most-awarded airline ;D
It's also the first airport to handle an in-service A380 ;D

What i like most about the airport is the iconic control tower, those huge SIA Hangars (3 wide-bodies side-by-side! with no columns!) and lastly, its my home airport ;D

EHM-1980 Brian:
Hi Guys,

Thanks for all your replies to this topic. I was very interested to hear about your favourite airports! There are so many great airports in the world that I absolutely love but narrowing it down to one was very hard so i appreciate your answers!

Javier you certainly love your airport dont you! :] Excellent...

Kind Regards,

Brian

I am going to sound nuts when I say this.

I can't remember it's name, but it's ICAO code is LKPR and it's Prague's airport. It has some brilliant terminal architecture and a d**n good Sushi bar.
I had to stay at that airport for 7 hours, and I wasn't bored one second!

EHM-1980 Brian:
I've been there also Matt.... Its called Ruzyne as far as I know and I totally agree with you in regards to its architecture..... impressive!! I didnt try out that Sushi bar mind you !! ;D
