Singapore: A Strategic Air Cargo Hub
Singapore has leveraged its strategic location and innovative ecosystem to become a leading global air cargo hub.
According to the DHL Global Connectedness Report 2024, Singapore is the most globalised country in the world. Changi Airport is at the heart of this evolution, transforming the city-state into a logistics powerhouse focused on high-value and time-sensitive cargo.
In 2019, Changi Airport handled 2.01 million tonnes of air freight. After a pandemic-induced contraction, volumes recovered to over 1.5 million tonnes between January and October 2022, with 170,000 aircraft movements - 53% of pre-Covid levels.
The rebound accelerated through 2023 and 2024, driven by semiconductors, e-commerce, and pharmaceuticals. In Q2 2025, Changi handled 516,000 tonnes of airfreight, marking a 6% increase.
Singapore is rapidly evolving into a future-proofed logistics powerhouse.
