Singapore Changi Airport reported that cargo movements were steady in June 2012, with 153,300 tonnes of airfreight shipped, an increase of 0.1 percent year-on-year.

For the first 12 months of the year, shipment volume at the world’s 11th largest cargo airport in 2011 in terms of tonnage declined by 1 percent from the same period in 2011.

The Yangtze River Express started airfreight services at the airport earlier this month. The Chinese all-cargo carrier will operate eight weekly services using the 65-tonne A332F aircraft connecting Shanghai Pudong to Singapore with stopovers in Bangkok and Chongqing.

As of July 1, 2012, some 100 airlines operate at Changi Airport, connecting Singapore to more than 220 cities in 60 countries around the world.
