Scoot unlocks more menu possibilities for the low-cost traveller by adopting a new box packaging, for selected inflight meals to introduce rich and soupy dishes. The new packaging features a deeper box with a leak-resistant lid, which also keeps food warm for longer.
To start, Scoot will be launching two new flavour-packed meals utilising the brand-new containers – Signature Laksa and Chicken Congee. These dishes are available as meal combos (with a beverage and snack) for pre-order for flights departing from Singapore from 1 July 2021.
This represents an exciting expansion to the Scoot Café inflight menu, which brings the best of Singapore’s multi-faceted hawker culture to customers. Alongside the new additions, the latest Scoot Café menu boasts Singapore favourites such as Soya Chicken Rice with Pak Chye, Nasi Lemak with Chicken Rendang, Chicken Briyani, Oriental Treasure Rice, and Veggie Korma with Basmati Rice.
The regularly refreshed menu, which also includes seasonal snack and beverages by home-grown brands, aims to give Singapore residents a comforting taste of home whenever they fly, and provide non-Singaporean travellers a touch of Singapore’s heritage before they arrive.
“Singapore boasts a world-class food scene, but it is our UNESCO-recognised hawker culture that is truly distinctive and like no other – at once a great social equaliser, sensory kaleidoscope, community hangout and a reflection of our diverse and multi-cultural society. As a proudly Singapore-based airline, Scoot is delighted to offer local hawker dishes that, as well as being loved by Singaporeans, are becoming increasingly famous around the world,” said Scoot CEO, Campbell Wilson. “We will continue to pursue innovations that differentiate the low-cost inflight experience for our customers, giving them more reasons to choose Scoot when they are ready to fly.”
The new packaging, replacing the original single-use plastic casseroles and developed with our catering partner, SATS, is also made with more eco-friendly FSC1-certified paper. Scoot plans to eventually transfer its full range of cook-chill meals to the new, more environmentally friendly packaging, as the existing stock of plastic containers depletes.
This move is part of Scoot’s ongoing drive to reduce single-use plastic on flights. Since December 2020, Scoot has progressively replaced plastic bottled water with a more sustainable Tetra Pak paper-based alternative2. Scoot also plans to begin using wooden stirrers when the current stock of plastic drink stirrers run out. Altogether, these initiatives will reduce Scoot’s plastic consumption by approximately 19 tonnes of plastic a year.
These initiatives form part of the Singapore Airlines Group’s overall sustainability journey which includes our commitment to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
