Changi Airport partners with air cargo community to boost perishable logistics

The airport, together with three other parties will pursue IATA certification.

Changi Airport Group Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, Enterprise Singapore, and Workforce Singapore, have joined forces to enhance the airport’s cargo handling capabilities through the grant of the certification of International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) Centre of Excellence for Independent Validators for Perishable Logistics (CEIV Fresh).

The four parties will co-fund certification costs to strengthen Changi’s capabilities in the handling of perishable cargo.

Perishable cargo represents about 13% of Changi’s total air exports and imports by volume, where top cargo markets to and from the airport come from Australia, Norway and India.

At the same time, the nine IATA CEIV Pharma certified members of the Pharma@Changi initiative, which was launched in October 2017, have also renewed their commitment for the next two years to jointly pursue the best standards in Changi’s pharmaceutical handling.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
