Free transport service to end for SIA cabin crew who work late

Ground handling firm Sats now arranges for a taxi or private-hire car for SIA cabin crew who work late. From June 1, they will have to make their own transport arrangements to and from the airport, while the monthly transport allowance will also rise. The Singapore Airlines Staff Union said in an e-mail to crew that the existing business model is "not sustainable". ST FILE PHOTO
