    Foreign Object Debris (FOD) detection

    Loose objects on the runway pose safety risks to aircraft, and can cause aircraft engines to catch fire if they are ingested. To keep our runways safe, CAG uses iFerretTM, an industry-leading FOD detection system employed by major airports worldwide. With its high definition electro-optical sensors and proprietary software,  iFerretTM can detect a foreign object even in low light, thus facilitating the timely removal of the object from our runways for the safety of aircraft and passengers.

    iFerretTM, owned by CAG, is in compliance with US FAA specifications. For more information on procuring iFerretTM, please contact: business.development@changiairport.com.
