Singapore Airlines is hiring cabin crew of Indian origin. It plans to have at least 2-3 Indians on each flight flying from or to India.

“Yes we are hiring cabin crew and staff with Indian origin. All I can say at this point of time is that the idea is to have at least two to three Indian cabin crew,” CW Foo, Singapore Airlines general manager for India, told Financial Chronicle.

Also, the airline has inducted chef Sanjiv Kapur in its international culinary panel of 10 chefs for more detailing and refinement of Indian cuisine it serves on its flights. The panel advises TajSATS Air Catering which takes care of the airline’s inflight catering.

“We are refining the inflight Indian cuisine further with more detailing and authenticity. These are very important factors,” said Foo.

Singapore Airlines is also keen on more landing rights in the country.

It plans to replace its fleet of Boeing 777s with A330s globally. However, it will continue to fly Boeing 777-200s on some routes in India.
