Ex-Scoot crew member Muhammad Fadzil Nasir, 38, was sentenced to 11 months' jail on Oct 27.

He had misappropriated nearly $65,000 of the low-cost carrier’s food and beverage sales proceeds.

Fadzil committed the offences between May 2023 and March 2025.

SINGAPORE – A Scoot Singapore employee who supervised a team of nine crew members misappropriated nearly $65,000 of the low-cost carrier’s food and beverage (F&B) sales proceeds.

Muhammad Fadzil Nasir, 38, was a crew-in-charge who oversaw the smooth running of flights. He committed the offences between May 2023 and March 2025.

On Oct 27 , he was sentenced to 11 months’ jail after pleading guilty to misappropriating more than $33,000.

A similar charge involving the remaining amount of over $31,000 was considered during his sentencing. He has since made full restitution .

Fadzil’s employment was terminated on March 27, 2025.

He had borrowed from licensed moneylenders and incurred credit card debts to pay for his family’s daily expenses.

As part of their work, Fadzil and other crew members collected cash payments from passengers for in-flight F&B purchases.

After placing the money in polymer bags, they recorded the sales returns on an online portal.

Deputy Public Prosecutor Teng Yin Hang said that the cash in the bags would ordinarily be submitted to Scoot’s F&B vendor by a person known as a “complex leader”.

Investigations found that from May 2023, Fadzil would volunteer to submit the bags containing the sales proceeds on behalf of the complex leader.

He would do so on most flights that he was assigned to.

However, he would take the cash-filled bags home without recording the sales returns.

Court documents stated that he misappropriated more than $31,000 over 137 occasions between May 2023 and April 2024.

He also made off with more than $33,000 over 169 occasions between May 2024 and March 2025.

The DPP told the court: “He did so because he knew that Scoot would not check whether the bags had been submitted...He then used the misappropriated cash to repay the various loans and credit card debts.”

His offences came to light during an internal investigation of another cabin crew member.

A police report was made on March 26, 2025 and Fadzil was arrested the next day.

His case was the second one in recent months involving a former Scoot cabin crew member who was sent to jail for pocketing cash from the carrier.

In March, Luqman Hakim Shahfawi, 32, who misappropriated nearly $40,000 in cash earnings from in-flight F&B sales , was sentenced to seven months’ jail .

前酷航机组人员穆罕默德·法兹尔·纳西尔（38岁）于10月27日被判处11个月监禁。

他挪用了这家廉价航空公司近 65,000 美元的食品和饮料销售收入。

法兹尔在 2023 年 5 月至 2025 年 3 月期间犯下了这些罪行。

新加坡——一名酷航新加坡员工，负责管理一个由九名机组人员组成的团队，挪用了这家廉价航空公司近 65,000 美元的食品和饮料销售收入。

38岁的穆罕默德·法兹尔·纳西尔是一名机组负责人，负责监督航班的顺利运行。他的犯罪行为发生在2023年5月至2025年3月期间。

10 月 27 日，他承认挪用超过 33,000 美元，被判处 11 个月监禁。

在他量刑时，还考虑了一项涉及剩余31000多美元的类似指控。他此后已全额赔偿。

Fadzil 的雇佣关系于 2025 年 3 月 27 日终止。

他曾向持牌放贷人借钱，并背负信用卡债务，以支付家人的日常开销。

作为工作的一部分，法兹尔和其他机组人员会向乘客收取机上餐饮消费的现金。

他们将钱装进塑料袋后，在网上门户网站上记录了销售退货情况。

副检察官邓银航表示，袋子里的现金通常会由一名被称为“集团头目”的人交给酷航的餐饮供应商。

调查发现，从 2023 年 5 月起，法兹尔将自愿代表该地产公司的负责人提交装有销售所得的袋子。

在他执飞的大多数航班上，他都会这样做。

然而，他会把装满现金的袋子带回家，却不记录销售退货。

法庭文件显示，他在 2023 年 5 月至 2024 年 4 月期间，共 137 次挪用公款，金额超过 31,000 美元。

从 2024 年 5 月到 2025 年 3 月，他共作案 169 次，盗窃金额超过 33,000 美元。

检方告诉法庭：“他这样做是因为他知道酷航不会检查行李是否已提交……然后他用挪用的现金偿还了各种贷款和信用卡债务。”

他的违法行为是在对另一名机组人员进行内部调查时被发现的。

2025年3月26日，警方立案调查，法兹尔于次日被捕。

这是近几个月来第二起涉及酷航前乘务员因私吞航空公司现金而被判入狱的案件。

今年 3 月，32 岁的卢克曼·哈基姆·沙赫法维 (Luqman Hakim Shahfawi) 因挪用近 4 万美元的机上餐饮销售现金收入而被判处 7 个月监禁。
