SATS is proud to be a home-grown company, tracing our roots back to the very beginning of commercial aviation in Singapore, marked by the inaugural flight that took off from Singapore Kallang Airport in 1947.
Over the next few decades, we grew in tandem with our young city-state as Singapore transformed itself into a global business and aviation hub.
Relocating to Changi Airport in 1981, we continued working hard to expand our network, strengthen competitiveness, and grow operational capabilities together with industry partners like Singapore Airlines.
Overseas joint ventures (JVs) paved the way for strategic new business opportunities while enabling us to establish ourselves in new markets. At the same time, we diversified our business, expanding into new non-aviation industry segments such as institutional catering and cruise terminal management.
In April 2023, SATS acquired Worldwide Flight Services (WFS) becoming the world’s largest air cargo handler. Our unparalleled global presence and reach, spanning more than 215 airports in 27 countries, creates pathways for sustainable growth.
We are proud to have come a long way, and we could not have achieved what we have without the passion and dedication of our 50,000 people around the world.
Looking ahead, we are committed to building a sustainable future for our people, our customers and our communities, adopting a technology-driven, people-led approach as we incorporate key sustainability goals into our business development.
