Kim Jong-un arrives in Singapore for historic summit with Donald Trump

After its strange flight path from Pyongyang, North Korean leader’s Boeing 747 has been seen on the runway at Changi Airport

It is all systems go in Singapore as the country readies itself for the arrival of United States President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un ahead of their highly anticipated summit in the Lion City on Tuesday.

The Boeing 747 believed to be carrying Kim Jong-un has landed in Singapore, sources on the ground said.

Air China flight CA61 touched down at Changi Airport shortly before 2.40pm.

Kim takes no chances on flight to Singapore

The aircraft most probably carrying Kim Jong-un to Singapore for his summit with Donald Trump took a mostly inland route while flying over China, according to a flight tracking service.

“North Korea’s utmost concern is Kim’s route, as there have always been big concerns about assassination attempts,” according to Lee Yun-keol, a former bodyguard for North Korea’s ruling family.

Data from Swedish website Flightradar24 showed Kim’s flight initially passed over four Chinese provinces – Hebei, Henan, Hubei and Hunan – and stayed well clear of coastal areas.

China’s paint scheme sucks. Too commercial. Generic. I would expect something classy from a nation that is older than ours.

Air Force 1 has a much better design.

Not much better. He should just do a normal haircut.

Reminds me of the excitement and disbelief when Nixon first went to Russia. When nobody believed Glasnost could really happen.
