SINGAPORE: A former Scoot cabin crew member and complex leader who pocketed around S$40,000 (US$31,000) from in-flight sales of food and beverage was given seven months’ jail on Friday (Mar 27).
Luqman Hakim Shahfawi, 32, earlier pleaded guilty to one of two counts of criminal breach of trust as an employee, with the other count taken into consideration for his sentencing.
At the time of the offences, he was employed as a cabin crew member and complex leader with Scoot.
As a complex leader, he supervised other crew members and collated payments from the sale of food and beverages on board flights.
Complex leaders are required to place cash payments in a bag and deposit the money in a safe within 48 hours after each flight.
In 2023, Luqman lost two bags containing cash payments. He did not report the matter to his supervisors and later decided to keep cash bags from subsequent flights, fearing the loss of the earlier bags would be discovered.
