Ground handler SATS will invest more than S$100m to develop its cargo infrastructure at Changi Airport as part of a wider project to upgrade its ground operations at the airport. The initiatives will aim to enhance operational reliability and safety, optimise turnaround times, and support growing cargo volumes at the airport through to the mid-2030s when the new Terminal Five and Changi East Industrial Zone (CEIZ) are projected to commence operations. The cargo upgrades will be carried out over the next two years - starting mid-2025 - and will “bolster cargo operations across its airfreight terminals to address growing volumes”. Enhancements include the reconfiguration of SATS’ largest cargo facility (AFT6) as a dedicated Singapore Airlines (SQ) cargo hub, consolidating SQ’s import, export, and transhipment operations in a single 64,000 sq. m facility, as per a report.
