The flight operations on the Singapore Flyer has been suspended after a technical issue was detected during a maintenance inspection.
The operator announced on 19 January that the decision to suspend operations on the giant observatory wheel was a precautionary measure.
A spokesperson for the Singapore Flyer said that they are working around the clock to rectify the issue with a specialist professional engineer, but they did not mention when operations will resume.
The spokesperson added: “We seek the understanding and patience of our guests and partners and sincerely apologise for any inconvenience caused.”
Straco Leisure said in a statement:
“We are working closely with the Building and Construction Authority to conduct the necessary inspection, repairs and rectification works. In the meantime, all flights will continue to be suspended.”
However, the Time Capsule attraction, along with the shops and restaurants at the Singapore Flyer’s terminal building are still operating and open for business.
