On Saturday, 2 June 2007, at about 2012 hours local time, a Boeing B747-300 aircraft took off from Runway 20C at Singapore Changi Airport. The Take-off Run Available (TORA) of Runway 20C had been reduced to 2,500 m owing to runway resurfacing work. After the aircraft had taken off, the runway controller observed that the runway end marker board lights had gone off. Subsequent inspection found that the marker boards were badly damaged. According to the operator, the aircraft was inspected on arrival in Riyadh but the inspection did not reveal any damage. No passengers or crews were injured.
