Old Airport Road is one of the main roads in Geylang, Singapore. It connects Stadium Boulevard, at the intersection with Mountbatten Road in the west, with Dunman Road in the east, after the bridge across the Geylang River.
Old Airport Road got its name from the Old Kallang Airport. In fact, the road was built over the area that was once the old airport runway. Construction of Kallang Airport began in 1931, to prepare Singapore to become a flight hub for flights between Australia and Europe. It opened to civil aviation in 1937, but was replaced by the Paya Lebar Airport in 1955.
The Old Airport Road Food Centre, located on the Old Airport Road, is one of the oldest and most popular indoor hawker centres in Singapore
Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
