Two Chinese nationals could face up to three years in jail, after they were arrested for theft on a Scoot flight on Jun 2. Two debit cards and S$169 in cash were allegedly stolen. Court documents said a crime committed on a Singapore-registered plane is subject to Singapore law, regardless of where the plane is flying. An off-duty police officer on the flight saw the accused acting suspiciously and alerted the authorities after disembarking from the aircraft. Mr John Tan, lead professional officer of SIT's aviation management degree programme, shared more about in-flight thefts and what airlines are doing to tackle the issue.
