The Government will continue paying 30 per cent of aviation workers’ salaries from October to December, with support tapering to 10 per cent between January and March next year, under a S$130 million extension to the Aviation Workforce Retention Grant.

The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) said on Monday (Sept 27) that for eligible aviation firms, the support applies to the first S$4,600 of gross monthly wages paid to each Singapore employee.

The Covid-19 pandemic has crippled international travel since early last year, with the aviation industry remaining among the hardest hit of all economic sectors, CAAS said in a statement.

Changi Airport’s total passenger traffic movement is at 3.6 per cent of pre-pandemic levels as of this month.

Aviation companies have also reduced their manpower to adjust to the decreased air travel activity, the authority added.

The grant’s extension is expected to benefit more than 100 companies in the sector.

U sure? My friend pilot said flying as normal

You sure your friend is a real pilot?

Lol. Most pilots just shaking legs at home now. Captains easily still getting more than 12k a month (after pay cut hor).

Meanwhile our frontline nurses are working like dogs for like 2k to 3k a month? But nevermind, clap for them can liao. #SGunited
