The ACE Hub is expected to further strengthen Singapore’s position as a key centre for Air Express Companies (AECs) and their gateway to air express cargo markets. Strategically located within the Changi Airport’s Free Trade Zone, the ACE Hub is a specialised cargo and logistics infrastructure for use by AECs.
The ACE Hub will have direct airside access in attempt to facilitate the unrestricted flow of cargo to and from aircraft. This is said to allow AECs to shorten the processing time for time-sensitive shipments to achieve greater efficiency and speed in transporting express cargo.
Under the Changi Airport Masterplan, CAAS has allocated about 80,000 square metres of land for the development of the ACE Hub and its supporting airside infrastructure. CAG will manage the development and operations of the new facility, which is scheduled to be operational in the first half of 2012.
The new facility spanning 26,277 square meter will also include special on-site facilitation by the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority and Singapore Customs for efficient cargo clearance.
