SINGAPORE - Pilots and cabin crew on Singapore Airlines and Scoot flights will no longer be required to wear masks while operating flights from June 1, but some flight crew are concerned that this rule is now mandatory.

A Scoot crew member, who did not want to be named, told Lianhe Zaobao in an e-mail interview that a colleague had asked the company about the new provision and came to the conclusion that from June onwards, it is “mandatory” for SIA and Scoot crew members to remove their masks when in uniform. In response to queries from The Straits Times, SIA Group confirmed that “in tandem with the Singapore Government’s move towards the endemic new norm, it will be stepping down the mask-wearing requirement for its flight crew with effect from June 1”.

As per the memo, SIA confirmed that flight crew will wear a mask while operating flights to or from destinations where mask-wearing is mandated by the local authorities.
