SINGAPORE (Mar 27): Steep cuts to airline operations amid the Covid-19 outbreak might have led to the grounding of thousands of workers in Singapore, but some employees at aviation firms here have risen to the challenge.

Amid the suspension of flights, crew from Singapore Airlines, Jetstar Asia and SATS will take on temporary public service roles to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

The contract positions, which range from one to six months, will see these employees deployed in roles which have seen a surge in manpower needed as a result of the increase in coronavirus-related operations.
