Captive balloons that are usually helium-filled and measure up to 3 meters in any linear dimension may pose a threat to aircraft safety. Although anchored to stationary points, if released, these balloons may drift to heights that could affect aircraft operations.
As such, hoisting of captive balloons is allowed subject to the following restrictions:
Area/Height | Up to 130 feet | Up to 290 feet | Above 290 feet |
Within 1km of the flight funnels* of an airport or an airbase | Permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required | Permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required | Permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required |
Outside of the flight funnels* within 5km of an airport or an airbase | Notification to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required | Permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required | Permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required |
