SINGAPORE- World’s best carrier, Singapore Airlines (SQ) Group, will absorb retrenched Jetstar Asia (3K) employees following the airline’s closure. This includes the creation of 100 pilot and 200 cabin crew positions across SIA and its low-cost arm, Scoot (TR).

The move comes after Jetstar Asia, based at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN), announced on June 11 that it will cease operations on July 31, resulting in over 500 job losses.

Singapore Airlines to Hire Jetstar Asia Staff

In response to Jetstar Asia’s imminent shutdown, the SIA Group promptly launched a support initiative to retain skilled aviation professionals within Singapore’s aviation ecosystem.

According to a June 13 statement by an SIA spokesperson, the company aims to provide continued career pathways for affected personnel by integrating them into roles within the group’s airlines, particularly SIA and Scoot.

This effort includes a structured recruitment drive, with representatives from both airlines scheduled to visit Jetstar Asia’s office from June 17 to 19.

During this time, retrenched employees will have the opportunity to learn about openings and engage directly with recruiters.

The spokesperson emphasized SIA Group’s commitment to easing the onboarding experience, acknowledging the uncertainty faced by impacted staff.

Fast-Track Hiring Channels

Jetstar Asia’s closure triggered an immediate response from key stakeholders. Labour chief Ng Chee Meng announced that the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) was collaborating with SIA Group to redeploy affected employees.

The SIA Group confirmed that dedicated application channels have been established to streamline the hiring process for these workers.

Reported by The Straits Times, this coordinated effort highlights a strong industry commitment to retaining experienced aviation talent.

The spokesperson added that Jetstar Asia staff bring valuable operational expertise, and the group looks forward to integrating successful applicants into its teams.

Strategic Workforce Realignment

The decision to offer roles within the SIA Group helps maintain continuity in the Singapore aviation sector and preserves institutional knowledge amid industry restructuring.

With Jetstar Asia’s exit from the market, these redeployment efforts reflect the SIA Group’s proactive workforce planning and social responsibility.

By creating targeted job opportunities, the Group not only supports individuals during a difficult transition but also ensures its own operations benefit from a trained and ready pool of professionals.
