Highly possible that they will land at Paya Lebar Airbase instead.

I just remembered that the Supreme Leader has his private jet, emblazoned with the official name of his country.

Yes confirmed the 2 Air Force 1 will land at PLAB. Just like it always have been during when Obama came here
For Kim as he is either on Air Koryo or a private jet which will very likely sure to land at Changi.

From a political pov, I think both planes will land at the same airport, in this case PLAB, even if it is a private jet carrying Kim.

so far there seems to be only USAF planes and US aircrafts carrying US VIPs landing at PLAB.
Other foreign dignitries all land at Changi at the VIP terminal.

The very reason they decided to host it in Singapore is to avoid any appearance of favouring one side over the other other.

Politically speaking, I don’t think Kim will fancy having to land at a commercial airport when trump is landing at a military airport.

A lot of political consideration in the politics. It’s all about optics.

We shall see when the time comes. There will be US support aircrafts like at least 2 C-17s which will bring Trump's specially customised and protected limo which its called "the beast" and other vehicle and army special forces protection team. Unlike Kim which would be in his private plane or a chartered Air Koryo whith no other aircrafts.
Similiarly for security reasons, do not think US would want to be in the same airport with Kim's.

Just read this on the ST. Note the dimensions of the IL-62's cabin at the top. They say Koreans are small, but I can't imagine that they are this small!

Talking about military jets, has anyone noticed that there is almost always a RSAF C-130 Hercules type aircraft turning around Singapore in daytime. Actually it appears on flight radar too.
