Buddy normaly for cabin crew the minimum rest period is 12 hours.. within 12 hours they can operate a flight... Since the flight is about 10 hours the crew will get a layover in CMB. It maybe 12 hours, 24 hours 36 hours or 48 hours.. it varies.. but for the crew they will get a small rest period during flight since it's a long flight.. maybe 13 to 14 crew might be on this flight.. so at once about 5 crew members will rest for abt 3 hours.. then after their rest is over another 5 will go for rest..and when they land in CMB they will get a layover 😊
