3 May 1933. a Fokker FXVIi (F18) operated by KLM Royal Dutch Airlines with the registration number PH-AIP ‘Pelikaan’ landed in Singapore’s Seletar Airport coming from Amsterdam. It was then the first airline to offer a regular scheduled service to Singapore.
The Dutch airline continued flying to Seletar until June of 1937 and moved to Kallang Airport becoming the first airline to land at this airport in May 1937 due to a tropical storm diversion before the airport officially opened on 12 June. KLM flew five aircraft types on the Amsterdam – Singapore route including the DC2 and DC3.
