Emergency dental care is also available on-site if the need should ever arise. Alternatively, you will be referred to a dental practitioner at a location convenient to you.
To provide you with airline privileges
Working for a world-class airline means you’re entitled to world-class airline privileges too.

An additional annual leave ticket will also ensure that you get the opportunity to go home every year at our expense.

Giving you the choice of a worldwide network of travel destinations, what more could you want. Just to go that one step further, we even offer the option of having the ticket costs deducted from your salary.
Another travel advantage we have to offer is cargo concessions for those essential items that need transportation around world.
