Singapore Airlines dropping mask wearing mandate

I’m on SQ208 this evening. Almost no passengers bothering with masks with the new rules. Crew 100% masked though.

I was on the outbound service (SQ207) today and they enforced the masks pretty consistently. Maybe different crews enforce differently according to Purser’s instructions.

Is SQ still requiring crews to wear masks? It's a bit silly, I can't imagine they enjoy doing their job in masks.

Masks are still required on flights *into* Australia, but not when departing Australia. The rules change for AU domestic next Friday—I’m coming back on 207 on Sunday so wonder if that will change for incoming international too.

Not sure, but both 208 and the connecting flight (478) I took today had fully masked crew for the entire flight.

Indeed this has now changed with the new AU rules kicking in -- no mask required on SQ207 back into AU yesterday. Very few passengers wearing them but once again the crew were fully masked throughout.
