Singapore Airlines Annual Report 2007-08
27
SUPPORTING OUR COMMUNITIES
SAFETY AND SECURITY
During the year in review, Singapore Airlines contributed
over $2 million in cash, and free and rebated tickets, to
various charities, educational, sports and arts programmes.
In addition, the Airline also raised over $1.9 million for four
worthwhile charities in an unprecedented online charity
auction for seats onboard both sectors of Singapore Airlines’
inaugural A380 commercial flight. The beneficiaries were:
Singapore’s Community Chest, Médecins Sans Frontierès,
the Sydney Children’s Hospital Randwick, and The
Children’s Hospital at Westmead.
The Airline took the opportunity to give back to the
community when it celebrated its 60th Anniversary in
2007. Activities involving the various voluntary community
service clubs in the Group such as the Cabin Crew Club for
Community Care (5Cs), Community Service Club (CSC),
PLG Community Care Club (PC3) and the SIA-MINDS Thrift
Shops were conducted, to engage staff in community
service.
Staff also raised S$58,560 through a 60th Anniversary
charity run. The beneficiaries of this effort included the
Spastic Children's Association of Singapore, the AWWA
Community Home for Senior Citizens, Chao Yang School,
SIA-MINDS Employment Development Centre, Singapore
Leprosy Relief Association (SILRA) and Association for
Persons with Special Needs (APSN) Centre for Adults.
Overseas communities continue to be supported during
the year in review through donations and charity work.
Cabin crew volunteers organised community projects to
improve the learning facilities in orphanages and schools
in Cambodia, and sponsored costumes to aid these children
in their fund-raising performances.
The Airline also supported the high-profile Greek
Masterpieces exhibition – a first-of-its-kind collaboration
between the National Heritage Board and the renowned
Louvre Museum.
Singapore Airlines continues to recognise security as
paramount to operations. In order to achieve a safe and
secure environment, security procedures are constantly
reviewed through audits to ensure that they remain
relevant and effective.
During the year in review, the Airline introduced a
web-based self-learning security program for cabin and
technical aircrew.
It also successfully completed its second renewal of the
IATA Operational Safety Audit. The audit covered key
operational areas across the Airline, including flight safety,
emergency management, engineering maintenance and
ground handling, just to name a few.
The Airline is also working closely with other safety
organisations, such as IATA and AAPA, to promote and
enhance flight safety. Information and data are exchanged
to address common safety issues.
