SIA planes on taxiway spark S’pore pride among netizens

A photo of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) plane being towed across the taxiway leading to Changi Airport went viral online, sparking wholesome comments from netizens.

“Seeing a plane crossing over Airport Boulevard never fails to make us go (in love emoji),” wrote Changi Airport on its Facebook page on Aug 11.

Here’s the accompanying photo posted by Changi Airport.

It appears that the sight evoked a sense of pride among netizens who began praising Changi Airport.

“Changi Airport is truly homecoming and most friendly airport,” said a netizen, while another added, “One of the best pictures to capture the hospitality and elegance of one of the best airports in the world.”

Facebook user Deanna Chua shared a photo of a similar sight taken from the Jurassic Mile Walk.

“It’s cool too to be driving under the bridge just when the plane glides through above!! We all love SQ,” said Facebook user Chan May San who also had a suggestion for locals.

“It would be great if S’poreans could be given an SG discount for choosing to fly with SQ. It’s getting so expensive that it’s hard to show support even though we would love to fly SQ! Or is it just wishful thinking to have our national carrier extend a little benefit to its nationals?”

A netizen even said he lucked out when he passed under the bridge while a SIA plane was being taxied.

“Tell you something nice and good. I was driving towards the Changi Terminal that day years ago when I spotted an A380 SIA Plane about taxing in under the bridge,” said Facebook user Ronnie Chan.

“I slowed down the car to watch it, then deliberately went under the aircraft while taxing under the bridge. I strike 1st prize in the 4D buying the date. So you may be the lucky one to strike when you see an approaching aircraft crossing the bridge.” /TISG
