Sats opens new cargo handling facility at Changi to cut processing time by 20%
The BUP Handling Centre can process cargo in as little as two hours
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.
[SINGAPORE] Sats on Tuesday (Aug 5) opened a new air-cargo handling facility in Changi Airport, which is expected to cut minimum processing time for shipments by 20 per cent.
The facility &ndash which covers 3,000 square metres, or about half the size of a soccer field &ndash can process cargo in as little as two hours, down from the usual 2½ hours, said the company in a statement.
Operated round the clock by Sats Cargo at Sats Cargo&rsquo s Airfreight Terminal, the BUP Handling Centre is named after the industry term &ldquo Bulk Unitisation Programme&rdquo shipments, which are ready-to-ship cargo units built by freight forwarders or shippers. These units are delivered to Sats Cargo for direct loading onto aircraft.
Each BUP typically combines smaller items &ndash such as e-commerce packages, boxed goods, or loose parcels &ndash into a single secured unit, which enables the cargo unit to be tracked electronically and handled as one item, saving time on loading and unloading and lowering the risk of damage.
Kuah Boon Kiam, senior vice-president of cargo services at Sats Singapore Hub (SG Hub), said every minute counts in the air-cargo logistics network.
&ldquo The facility will allow faster, safer and more efficient processing and handling of air cargo shipments, by day and by night and in all-weather conditions.&rdquo
SG Hub is a dedicated division under Sats that supports operations in Singapore&rsquo s air gateways, including Changi and Seletar airports.
Sats said the BUP Handling Centre will be used to test systems and processes for air cargo operations, which could be rolled out in Changi Airport&rsquo s Terminal 5 and the Changi East Industrial Zone.
How it works
The new facility has six lanes and six weighing stations to centralise processing in a single location. Freight forwarders no longer need to move between different parts of the terminal, thus cutting waiting times and raising efficiency.
Under the previous setup, there were only two weighing stations and no dedicated processing lanes.
The facility also brings other operational benefits, in that it frees up capacity at existing airfreight terminals and eases roadway congestion.
It also supports the resolution of acceptance issues. These include documentation, weighing, and verifying that BUP dimensions are compatible with aircraft cargo holds. Sats said that once accepted, the cargo units can be towed directly to the aircraft for loading, streamlining flow and enhancing handling efficiency.
Totally agree
My bold prediction.
By end of 2025 SATS reaches $5 - a new high 👍

This one ( SATS) looks ripe and ready to rally strongly and suddenly back to 3.43 years - vested
Based on SATS' s most recent financial reports, the Gateway Services segment is the most profitable.
Here' s a breakdown of what the financial reports indicate:
* Gateway Services consistently generates a larger share of the company' s revenue and operating profit compared to its Food Solutions segment.
* Recent reports show that the Gateway Services segment, which includes air cargo handling, ground handling, and passenger services, has benefited significantly from a recovery in global travel and strong air cargo demand.
* This segment' s growth has been further bolstered by the acquisition of Worldwide Flight Services (WFS), which has expanded SATS' s global footprint and made it a major player in the worldwide air cargo handling market.
While the Food Solutions segment, which includes airline catering and institutional catering, also contributes substantially to the company' s revenue, the Gateway Services business has demonstrated a stronger performance in terms of revenue and operating profit, making it the most profitable part of SATS' s portfolio.

Bought
Technically, bottomish and hit my buy range
Waiting for reversal

Highly unlikely to be bad news - company is thriving and expanding and food is only a small part of the business- well managed and highly likely to go back to 3.43 and to breach that in next rally - it?s a great company. Objective view are not vested

I love SATS as it has potential
But BUYERS BEWARE!!!
1. The last quarter of the last reported financial year was POOR and if this was a momentum shift then it suggests that the results will be poor also and when SATS disappoints the the share can collapse fast ( see history ) I advise not buying at current price - buy and sell at own risk
2. SATS is a share that can rally fast and can catch maximum number of chases - it is like a honey trap - - see history - once it goes up like this ( past few weeks ) it is setting investors up to be disappointed
3. Only buy SATS on weakness when nobody wants
