Changi Airport Group, together with the civil aviation authority of Singapore, Enterprise Singapore and Workforce Singapore, will be supporting the air cargo community – with Dnata and Singapore Airlines as pioneer members – to gain certification of the Iata centre of excellence for independent validators for perishable logistics (CEIV Fresh).
They will co-fund certification costs, with the aim to strengthen the airport’s capabilities in the handling of perishable cargo, which represents 13% of its air export and import volumes.
The community is the first in Southeast Asia to undergo the CEIV Fresh certification. The enhancement of perishables handling capabilities will instil greater confidence in shippers to use the airport as a preferred hub for their time and temperature-sensitive shipments. (ah)
