Sightseeing Zeppelins to fly over Singapore?
SINGAPORE – Plans to bring Zeppelin airships – among the world’s largest flying machines – to Singapore are, well, up in the air.
Zeppelin Airship World (ZAW), a Singapore-based company, has agreed a deal to assemble, operate, market and distribute the new Zeppelin NT airships in Singapore and Malaysia.
The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) is helping ZAW secure the approvals necessary to operate the airships.
STB director Jeannie Lim told the Straits Times, “There are many considerations to be made in exploring the possibility of bringing the Zeppelin airship to Singapore.â€
The Zeppelin NT, measuring 75m tip to tip, is longer than an Airbus A380.
Zeppelins are used in Munich, Berlin, London, Paris, Cape Town, San Francisco, Tokyo and Rotterdam, mostly for sightseeing.
ZAW hopes to get the first one off the ground by early 2011.
