Immigration Checks on Hand-carried and Checked Baggage of Travellers Arriving via Private Jets

Mr Don Wee asked the Minister for Home Affairs whether the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority checks all hand-carried and checked baggage of travellers who arrive via private jets.

Mr K Shanmugam: All travellers arriving via private jets are screened and their hand-carried and check-in baggage may be examined.

With advance passenger information, the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority is also able to identify high-risk travellers before their arrival in Singapore and subject them to even more thorough checks upon arrival.
