CEVA Logistics to run Airbus Helicopters Asia Pacific distribution hub

CEVA Logistics will manage a regional distribution platform for Airbus Helicopters in Asia Pacific under a new contract signed between the two companies. The facility is located at Singapore’s Airport Logistics Park within a free trade zone near Changi Airport and marks an expansion of their cooperation in the region.

The site forms part of CEVA’s existing footprint of more than 18,000 square metres of logistics space in Singapore. The platform includes temperature-controlled warehousing designed for aerospace components, with storage zones maintained between 5°C and 25°C and hygrometry levels between 45 and 65 per cent to support handling requirements.

CEVA Logistics will provide spare parts management, storage systems, customs clearance, multimodal transport and Aircraft on the Ground (AoG) support through round-the-clock operations. The company said the facility is intended to improve parts availability and strengthen logistics support for Airbus Helicopters customers across Asia Pacific.

The logistics group operates in 170 countries and maintains 25 AOG desks focused on aerospace operations. CEVA moves about 200 helicopters each year along with spare parts shipments. The company said its global network will support Airbus Helicopters’ expansion plans as demand in the Asia Pacific helicopter market is forecast to reach USD 24.99 billion by 2030, according to Mordor Intelligence.

Cyrille Roux, Global Sector Leader for Aerospace & Defence, CEVA Logistics, said: “As a trusted partner of Airbus Helicopters for over 40 years, we are proud to further deepen our partnership with the new dedicated regional distribution centre. We remain committed to applying our local expertise and global reach in support of Airbus Helicopters, helping the company stay closely connected to its customers and grow across the Asia Pacific region."

Headquartered in Marseille, CEVA Logistics provides contract logistics and freight services across air, ocean and ground transport. The company operates about 1,500 facilities with around 110,000 employees worldwide and reported revenue of USD18.3 billion in 2024 as part of the CMA CGM Group.
