[3] The project was a joint venture between the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore, the airport operator, and JTC Corporation, the largest industrial land developer in the country. [4] The cost of the facilities was initially S$35 million. [5]

Current use

Free trade zone

The logistics park is 26 ha in size. [6] As a free trade zone, customs formalities are reduced. This allows companies to trans-ship cargo to Singapore and later redistribute it to countries in the region. The proximity to the airport increases the efficiency of the process. Other logistics centres in Singapore include the Changi International LogisPark and the Banyan LogisPark. [2]
