Scoot, the
low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), has unveiled the six
South-east Asian destinations that its fleet of new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft will fly to – Krabi, Koh Samui
and Hat Yai in Thailand; and Kuantan, Miri and Sibu in Malaysia.
Expected to
begin operations in May, Scoot’s E190-E2 services will offer direct connections
to and from Singapore.
The first
E2, aptly nicknamed Explorer 3.0, is expected to arrive in Singapore in April,
and will take over Scoot’s existing flights to Krabi and Hat Yai from May 7,
increasing flight frequencies to both destinations from 7-times to 10-times
weekly.
The second
E2 is also scheduled for delivery in April and will allow Scoot to operate to
four additional cities – Koh Samui, Kuantan, Miri, and Sibu. Daily flights to
Koh Samui will commence from May 13, with the frequency progressively increased
to twice daily from early June.
The
addition of the second E2 will also allow Scoot to increase its frequency to
Miri and Kuantan from three to four times weekly from May 20 and June 3,
respectively, as well as launch thrice weekly flights to Sibu from June 5.
Together
with destinations served by Scoot’s existing fleet, the airline would operate
103-times weekly flights to Malaysia and 92-times weekly flights to Thailand by
June.
