Changi Airport handled more than two million tonnes of airfreight (+7%) for the 12 months ending April 2017, a new record in the airport’s history. Growth was across all flows – imports, exports and transhipment. Changi’s key airfreight segments include aerospace parts, perishables, pharmaceuticals, and e-commerce cargo. In January 2017, Changi Airport became the first air cargo community in Asia Pacific to establish an end-to-end supply chain that meets the IATA CEIV Pharma[1] standards, ensuring a high handling standard of pharmaceutical cargo passing through the airport.
