re Seletar
Well at least the runway at Subic is long enough to use, not to
mention a 70mil domestic population in the Philippines.

CAAS may lengthen Seletar Airport runway for AirAsia flights
SINGAPORE : The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said it was prepared to lengthen the runway slightly at Seletar Airport if Malaysian budget carrier AirAsia chose to fly from there.
It has also confirmed that landing fees for all new airlines would be waived for the first two years to help their businesses take off.
AirAsia's chief executive Tony Fernandes had said it wanted to fly out of Seletar rather than Changi because it would be cheaper and cut ticket costs.
He has complained that the Seletar runway is not long enough to cope with his planes.
At the moment, the runway only caters to smaller charter and private planes.
The CAAS said even if AirAsia picks Seletar, it could still use Changi as a stop-gap measure until the runway changes are ready.
Local start-up ValuAir earlier said it would prefer to fly out of Changi, while Singapore Airlines still has not decided whether to start up a budget airline. - CNA
