    SINGAPORE Airlines (SIA)'s decision to ask selected staff to go on voluntary no-pay leave (VNPL) was taken to "better manage crew resources and operational requirements" as it enters a period of temporary manpower surplus at specific ranks.

    More than 400 SIA cabin crew have applied for no-pay leave, with durations ranging from five days to a month, The Straits Times reported on Saturday.
