It follows 14 men and women being taken in to custody last month in a joint Police and Customs operation.
It was revealed an organised criminal group was smuggling, or conspiring to smuggle, close to 500-kilos of methamphetamine from Malaysia and the US between January and October this year.
Police allege six baggage handlers and eight associates, including two King Cobra gang members - were involved.
They all denied the charges and elected a jury trial.
