The SATS team at Changi Airport, our flagship hub in Singapore, is proud and honoured to have supported the Republic of Singapore Air Force Airbus Defence and Space A330 multi-role tanker transport (MRTT) which brought Singaporeans home safely from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
The RSAF A330MRTT, which arrived this morning before sunrise, is the first of two RSAF flights sent from Singapore to evacuate Singaporeans in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar and Saudi Arabia amid the war in the Middle East.
We are heartened to see many families reunited with their loved ones in Singapore.
Operations at our stations in Saudi Arabia and Oman, where airports remain open, continue under the appropriate safety and security protocols. Our staff in the Middle East, including Singaporeans deployed there, are safe.
As the aviation industry adjusts to the prevailing situation in the Middle East, SATS staff not just in Singapore but across our global network of 225 stations in 27 countries will do all we can to support the safe movement of people and air cargo.
We continue to monitor the situation closely.
Stay safe everyone.
