Singapore:
Changi Airport saw a healthy increase in second quarter air cargo volumes largely thanks to robust shipment flows with the US and China.
The airport registered 485,000 tonnes of airfreight throughput from April to June. Changi Airport Group said throughput was up 16% on the same period last year.
“Growth was registered across all cargo flows – exports, imports and transhipments, led by strong cargo flows between Singapore and China, as well as the US,” said the Group.
“For this period, Changi's top five air cargo markets were Australia, China, Hong Kong, India and United States of America.”
In the year to date, Changi handled a total of 960,000 tonnes of airfreight.
In the first quarter of the year, Changi handled 475,000 tonnes, benefitting from strong transhipment activity, especially for flows with China.
Major verticals for the airport include pharma, perishables, e-commerce and advanced materials, including semiconductors.
Airlines with cargo operations at Changi include India-based Spice Express, Australian Tasman Cargo Airlines and US-headquartered Atlas Air, as well as DHL Express and Singapore Airlines, who partner on operations out of Changi.
As of July 1, 94 airlines operate over 6,900 weekly scheduled flights at Changi, connecting Singapore to 158 cities in 50 countries and territories worldwide.
