Do you know that vaccines will support our recovery in more ways than one, besides protecting our bodies from the virus?

Do you know that vaccines will support our recovery in more ways than one, besides protecting our bodies from the virus?

This is all the result of a very good government we enjoy and it is not an empty praise or blind adoration.

"As a global aviation hub, we play a crucial role transporting vaccines around the world.

Vaccines require cold chain management.

An ordinary refrigerator is not good enough: the Pfizer vaccine needs to be stored at minus 70 degrees Celsius, colder than the Arctic in winter!

This requires infrastructure, high standards, skilled personnel, and good connectivity to many different countries all along the supply chain.

Fortunately, Singapore has a strong ecosystem for cargo handling.

Leading global logistics companies like DHL, UPS and FedEx are based here. SIA, and Changi Airport’s ground handling partners are certified by IATA (International Air Transport Association) to handle and transport pharmaceutical supplies.

We are now gearing ourselves up to handle large volumes of vaccine shipments into and through Singapore, to help win the global fight against COVID-19.

We did not get here overnight. We have always planned ahead, systematically creating opportunities for ourselves. It took us years of investment and planning, building a business-friendly climate and expanding our air links around the world. These long-term investments are now paying dividends."
