Headquartered at Singapore Changi Airport, the company operates an extensive international network across Asia, Europe, the Americas, Africa and the Middle East, supported by subsidiaries and strategic partnerships. It is recognised for its premium service, modern aircraft, operational standards and strong emphasis on customer experience. The airline employs people across flight operations, cabin services, engineering, airport operations, technology, finance, commercial functions and corporate support.

Working in Singapore

Singapore is a compact, highly connected island city-state with strong opportunities in aviation, finance, technology, logistics, healthcare, hospitality and professional services. Its multicultural society blends Chinese, Malay, Indian and international influences, with English widely used at work and in daily life. Public transport is efficient, housing and dining range from affordable to premium, and the tropical climate is warm and humid year-round. Employment generally requires an employer-sponsored work pass; the Employment Pass is commonly used for qualifying professional roles, while the S Pass covers eligible mid-skilled positions, subject to salary and quota rules. Candidates should secure a job offer before relocating, check pass eligibility, and budget carefully for rent, deposits, healthcare and transport. Singapore offers excellent safety, infrastructure and regional travel access, though living costs, especially accommodation, can be high.
