Qantas to open first international cabin‑crew base in Singapore from September; targets 650 crew and extra A380 flying
Qantas will open its first cabin‑crew base at Singapore Changi from September, initially stationing about 120 crew and aiming to grow to 650 within five years. The base — the carrier's largest outside Australia — is intended to boost capacity and support additional A380 services, but has prompted union warnings over potential offshoring of Australian jobs.
