DHL Ballon Goes Down
Monday, 6th October 2008
The red and yellow DHL Balloon at Tan Quee Lan Street was deflated this morning, ending its two and half year flight. When the land lease expired, balloon owner Singapore Ducktours tried finding other suitable sites but have been unsuccessful so far (Singapore Flyer Effect). The balloon has to go to make way for the new Bugis MRT station. According to its owner, the DHL balloon, has brought more than 200,000 passengers to the skies. It will be packed and shipped to France for cleaning and servicing. Thereafter may be shipped to its new home in Sydney, Australia.
