SATS has launched a new air cargo handling facility at Changi Airport, which is expected to cut minimum processing time for shipments by 20 per cent.
The Bulk Unitisation Programme (BUP) Handling Centre, which launched on Tuesday (Aug 5), is the world’s first facility specialized in handling pre-assembled cargo units. These BUPs are consolidated packages prepared by freight forwarders or shippers and delivered to SATS for direct flight loading.
The new center features an integrated weighing station and processing booth, cutting processing time from 10–15 minutes down to 5–8 minutes. Additionally, the number of weighing scales has been expanded from one per site to six, further streamlining operations. As a result, companies can now submit their cargo just two hours before departure, compared to the previous 2.5-hour requirement.
