Tractor pulling a dolly with cargo during the official opening of the BUP Handling Centre by representatives from Singapore’s aviation ecosystem, including SIA, CAAS, Changi Airport group, major freight forwarders in a joint show of support on Aug 5, 2025.
The BUP Handling Centre is named after BUPs, or Bulk Unitisation Programme shipments, which are cargo packages assembled by freight forwarders or shippers and delivered to SATS to be loaded onto flights. It covers an area about half the size of a soccer field at SATS Cargo's Airfreight Terminal. This dedicated and sheltered facility resembles the clearance lanes for cargo trucks at Singapore's Tuas and Woodlands checkpoints.
