“This is a good example of the spirit of innovation and collaboration that drives our aviation community to create more value for Changi’s customers,” remarked Ho Yuen Sang, Director, Aviation Industry, Civil Aviation Authority Singapore (CAAS).
“dnata’s partnership with local SME, Monzone, which provided the technical expertise for the development of Changi Airport’s first cool dollies, is testament of our ability to co-develop solutions to meet the region’s growing pharmaceutical needs,” observed Law Chung Ming, Director for Transport and Logistics, Enterprise Singapore (ESG).
