¶ 01 Hon. Member, the information you present is incorrect. Cabin crew are provided meals during flight, therefore no allowance is paid for that time. However, after going overseas, they are paid allowances for accommodation and meals. Apart from that, no other allowances are paid, and there is no intention to introduce such allowances going forward. That is the answer to your question.
