Singapore Skydive Dropzone

Singapore Skydive Dropzone

Dropzone location

There is no skydiving dropzone in Singapore.

Changi airport is a commercial airport with approximately $1.88 billion revenue yearly. Authority wouldn’t risk it for skydivers.

There are 5 military air bases, but are impossible by default.

The only “possible” option is Seletar airport.

Pricing

If the skydivers and pilot-in-training share the fuel costs, it might work :slight_smile:

Let’s talk cost.

Singapore is one of the most expensive city in the world. The price tag will be eye-popping.

The price would absolutely be more than $52 (1400 Baht) since that’s what Dropzone Thailand charges.

Realistically, it’s probably $100 per jump.

Example 1

If I go for a 5 days trip in Thailand, the cost should be

Item SGD
Flight $300
Accommodation $35x5=$175
Transportation $80x2+$10x5=$210
15 Jumps (assuming 3 jumps per day) $52x15=$780
Total $1,465

If I do 15 jumps in Singapore, it will cost $1,500.

It is surprising as I was expecting Singapore to be way more expensive. But they are close.

Example 2

What is the total cost of 1,000 jumps then?

In Singapore, it’s simple, $100x1,000 = $100,000

In Thailand

Item SGD
Flight $300
Accommodation $35x333=$11,655
Transportation $80x2+$10x333=$3,490
15 Jumps (assuming 3 jumps per day) $52x1000=$52,000
Total $67,445

For 1,000 jumps, Singapore will cost $32,555 more than Thailand.

Conclusion

These examples are simplified. We don’t include bundle jump discount etc, but I expect the numbers to be similar.

If there is a Singapore dropzone, it will only be affordable for millionaires. Only 8% of Singaporean can do it.
