Airline Pilots Association

Welcome to ALPA-S

Since the beginning of time, man had watched the birds around him, and wished that he too could fly. Greek mythology spoke of Daidalus and his son, Icarus, who made wings from feathers and wax, in order to escape from King Mino’s palace. Later, Leonardo da Vinci made attempts at aviation too. He conceived flying machines and predicted the future of aviation.

Unfortunately, it was only until the 19th Century that serious efforts in aviation experiments began. Even so, it was not until the turn of the Century that saw the Wright Brother’s historic flight. Up till then, society and religion looked upon flight as a sacred ability belonging to birds, and believed that humans were not meant to fly.

Welcome to the home of the Air Line Pilots Association-Singapore (ALPA-S). The association has been set up to recognize the achievement of the human race in realizing their dream to fly and to soar like a bird in the sky. As the professional body representing the airline pilot profession in Singapore, we owe it to the hundreds of people who have entrusted their lives with us in the aircraft, the highest level of safety when they fly with us. As such, enhancing aviation safety and promoting the highest standard of professionalism and technical competence amongst our members ranks high in the objectives of the association.
