I think it is a good idea to let Seletar Airport be the new budget terminal for LCCs using turboprop aircrafts and small narrow bodies like A320, 737, CRJs, Embraers, Bombardiers and etc...

Only problem about XSP is the lack of public transport...
God must have been a ship owner, he placed the raw materials far from where they are needed and covered two-thirds of the earth with water...
The new terminal is slated to open at the end of this year and apparently FY is supposed to start flights to Subang, Ipoh and Kuantan. Not sure what the states is with the terminal though. Have not been through that area for a while now.

I was checking out the new Seletar airport PTB.
1. Separate driveway entrances to business aviation and commercial flights (concept-wise like SQ First Class entrance at Changi T3)
2. The nearest bus stop is quite a bit of distance walk to the PTB. One need to walk more than the whole length of the car park (maybe about 300 m). Fortunately the walkway is covered.
The new Passenger Terminal Building at #SeletarAirport opened its doors to welcome its first business passengers today. Scheduled turboprop flights will operate from the new Terminal from 1 Dec 2018. Passengers, including those on chartered and private jets will enjoy bigger, better facilities and easier transition from airside to landside.

I find it strange that the date is coming up (less than 2 weeks!) and there's no news other than this source, but we'll have to wait and see I guess..
Checked out XSP's new terminal. Spiffy looking interior, blazing fast WIFI, and one little eatery (which closes at 6PM, apparently). I see a potential for a ten minute taxi drop off to plane boarding experience.
What was really surprising was in this day of automation and passenger self-check-in, there were no self check-in machines at XSP. CAG could have implemented at XSP what they did at T4, given pax on these turboprop flights are more likely to have light handcarry bags.
