SINGAPORE - The bulk of 600 initial job vacancies at ground handler Sats have been filled as the firm and its counterparts at Changi Airport ramp up hiring in preparation for further recovery in air t

raffic.

The push to hire more workers comes as the airport bids to avoid manpower shortages that have triggered long queues and flight cancellations at other airports in recent months. In Singapore, the number of air travellers and visitors are at their highest since the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic, although a full recovery remains some distance away.

Sats is still hiring for several roles, including customer service and trainee flight controllers. Perks offered include a joining bonus of $5,000 for some roles. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore said on Thursday that the event attracted about 11,000 job seekers and aviation enthusiasts. A spokesman said the participating companies are in the process of evaluating applications and shortlisting candidates.
