Today, KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is celebrating 85 years of scheduled services to Singapore.
True to its pioneering spirit KLM took the lead in the development of scheduled air services between Europe and Singapore on the 3rd May 1933 when a Fokker FXVIII (F18) with registration number PH-AIP 'Pelikaan' landed in Singapore at Seletar Airport. (then R.A.F. station, Seletar - which is now the state-of-the-art Seletar Aerospace Park) KLM was the first airline to offer a regular scheduled service to Singapore.
