First and Largest IATA CEIV Pharma certified community in Asia Pacific
In 2017, Changi established the Pharma@Changi Initiative, the first and largest community in Asia Pacific, among our CEIV Pharma certified community to pursue best practices in air pharma transportation and assessing emerging trends and technologies. We continue to grow and expand our community to enhance the hub’s pharmaceutical handling capabilities. Find out more about the Pharma@Changi initiative here.
Changi Airport sits on the board of Pharma.Aero, an international association consisting of Pharma shippers, CEIV certified cargo communities, airport operators and other air cargo industry stakeholders with the vision achieve excellence in reliable end-to-end air transportation for pharma shippers. Its mission is to foster global collaboration among CEIV certified airport communities dedicated in developing and leading when it comes to handling pharmaceuticals.
Changi Airport was the project co-lead for Phase 1 and 2 of the development of Global Pharma Tracker (GPT) - a common digital data-sharing platform that integrates data from different and multiple sources and translates it into a simple dashboard. GPT aims to provide greater end-to-end visibility of pharma shipments globally and enhance the reliability of the air cargo industry.
The white papers for the 2 phases of GPT - conceptualization & prototyping can be downloaded here.
In 2020, Changi Airport also co-led a global taskforce Project Sunrays – a joint initiative between The International Air Cargo Association and Pharma.Aero aimed at addressing Covid-19 vaccines global supply chain challenges. The taskforce aims to establish effective guidelines for the air cargo industry to ensure the proper handling, storage, and transportation of the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccines. The taskforce has since published two white papers - Shining light on COVID-19 vaccines transport & Readying Air Cargo Communities for COVID-19 Vaccine Air Transportation and Handling: Recommended Practices.
Changi Airport will continue to co-lead relevant projects together with other Pharma.Aero members to support the continuous improvement in air pharmaceuticals handling.
