Support for aviation sector 1. Enhanced Jobs Support Scheme to help businesses whose activities are based principally in the aviation sector retain their local workers. For every local worker in employment, he will provide a total of 75 per cent wage offset for the first $4,600 of monthly wages. Mr Heng says this will be paid in the same months as the main Jobs Support Scheme pay-outs. This enhancement will cost the Government more than $400 million. 2. $350 million enhanced aviation support package to fund measures such as rebates on landing and parking charges, and rental relief for airlines, ground handlers and cargo agents. He says this will also allow Singapore to retain a minimum level of connectivity to the world during the pandemic, and will enable overseas Singaporeans to return home and keep the country's supply lines for essential goods open. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore-supplementary-budget-2020-live-blog
