Large clusters of free-flying helium balloons may distract pilots of aircraft, including helicopters operating at low levels. If these objects are ingested by aircraft engines they can cause engine damage and endanger lives. As such, there are restrictions in place concerning the release of free-flying helium balloons in Singapore.
During operating hours of the military aerodromes, the release of free-flying helium balloons is strictly prohibited.
Outside the operating hours of the military aerodromes, the release of free-flying helium balloons is allowed subject to the following requirements:
Within 5km of any airport or airbase | Permit from the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required |
Outside 5km of any airport or airbase | Notification to the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) required |
In all cases, individually or as cluster, the balloons must not exceed 2 meters in any linear dimension.
