Traffic Spacing?
I've had plenty enough late landing clearances and ambitious expedite instructions to not care much about this one. Are you an airline pilot Sunny?

spektrum, Sunfish just wants you to know that he is sitting in a lounge in Changi. He also knows how to get the stats for the movements at any of Australia's airports.
1.5 minutes at say 130-140 knots is around 3- 3.5 nm separation. I believe we use 5nm in trail and no closing when handed off to the tower.
High speed taxi exits make a huge difference Sunfish.

Sunfish, didn't you know Australia has the 2nd best ATC in the world.......

Singapore's CTR (TMA) doesn't have any GA traffic so it can be much more streamline than what we have at Australian airports. Furthermore, they stop turboprops from operating in to WSSS, so air traffic management and sequencing is much easier.
Various UK airports are a better example of what is possible, and as one poster says ---- high speed exits, they make all the difference. He/she/X (just being gender neutral) is so right.
Tootle pip!!
Plaza premium lounge has views of the running away...
Sat in the pool during a transit at the transit hotel watching de planes...
No idea on the capacity but don’t think it’s a world leader in movements. Check out Manila now that’s spacing...

Sunny, do yourself a favour, go to LA, uber it to The Proud Bird, $15. Apart from great food, excellent craft beer and a great atmosphere, grab a table outside and watch the arrivals at LAX. They have lighties overflying & a mix of aircraft types. Then you'll see spacing.
Australia ATC procedures (not the ATCer's) - do not get me started!

Fifty five movements per hour on a single runway. Agreed no traffic mix of turbo-props and high speed exits as well.
