Scoot, Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) low-cost subsidiary, announced adjustments to its network today in anticipation of more robust demand during the northern winter season.
From November 2024, extra weekly flights will be mounted to Chiang Mai and Hanoi, increasing services from 10 to 11 times weekly and five to six times weekly, respectively.
From December 2024, services to Perth will increase from 13 to 14 times weekly. Services to Melbourne will also increase from 12 to 13 times weekly and twice daily from January 2025. In addition, three more weekly flights will be mounted to Seoul (Incheon) via Taipei, making it a daily service. Similarly, services to Tokyo (Narita) via Taipei will increase from 12 to 14 times weekly.
Within Southeast Asia, Scoot will increase flights to destinations operated by the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft. These include Davao, which will increase from seven to nine times weekly, and Balikpapan and Makassar, which will each increase from three to four times weekly.
More recently, Scoot started operating daily services to Subang in Malaysia on 1 September 2024 and will launch operations in Kertajati (Greater Bandung) in Indonesia on 28 September 2024 and Malacca in Malaysia on 23 October 2024.
In line with Scoot’s ongoing efforts to optimise its network, Scoot will suspend services to Ningbo, with the last flight on 26 October 2024.
Mr Calvin Chan, Scoot’s Chief Commercial Officer, said, “We are happy to announce more flights to popular destinations such as Australia, Japan, and South Korea in the northern winter season to cater to higher demand, especially during the holidays and festive season. We will continue to seek new opportunities, remain nimble in our aircraft deployment to match demand, and provide our customers with greater convenience and enjoyable travel journeys with Scoot.”
