Last week, Scoot announced they will be expanding its Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) network to a total of 17 destinations, following the Singapore government’s announcement on the easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions. The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will lift the 50% cap on VTL travellers entering Singapore per day and progressively restore the VTL quota from 5,000 to 15,000 by 4 March 2022.
Customers can look forward to flight routes across five counties and territories, including Athens, Cebu, Hong Kong, Krabi, London (Gatwick) via Bangkok, and Phuket.
Scoot Chief Commercial Officer, Calvin Chan, said: “Scoot is excited to provide more destinations in our network that now offer quarantine-free travel both ways for fully vaccinated customers, at pocket-friendly prices. The announcement of the expansion of the VTL scheme is an encouraging step for the travel and aviation industry, allowing us to cater to the pent-up demand for travel over the past two years, be it for work or school, to reconnect with friends and family, or to explore new experiences. As we continue to gradually expand our footprint across the world, the health and safety of our customers and crew will remain a priority for us, and we look forward to operating more VTL services soon.”
This is a crucial step in rebuilding the international travel industry after the pandemic and is an exciting time for Scoot in its global expansion.
