According to this understanding, since a couple of years ago, the Air Force began preparations for the establishment of 202 Squadron, it is expected to formally put into service before the end of the year. 202 Auxiliary Squadron 200 Squadron, perform real-time air defense missions.


Section 203 of the team returned to focus on the management of airspace, flight time and space in order to ensure safe and smooth traffic in our military. It must also cooperate with the Civil Aviation Authority, coordinating the use of increasingly crowded Changi Airport and Seletar Airport airspace over to facilitate military and civilian aircraft in flight.
