Launched by the Trivandrum flight in May 2019, the Singaporean airline now flies to seven Indian cities including Amritsar, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Tiruchirappalli. The new routes are operated by narrow-body Airbus A320-family aircraft, and the routes were transferred from sister airline, SilkAir, with increased frequencies on Scoot.
Calvin Chan, chief commercial officer, Scoot, said, “It has been an exciting year for Scoot in India. Having launched in Trivandrum earlier in May, we are pleased to round off this year by bringing our offerings to customers in two new cities – Visakhapatnam and Coimbatore. At Scoot, we work very hard to drive our vision of customer-centricity, and we are deeply focused on providing our customers greater value and travel opportunities, and the flexibility to pay only for what they need with add-ons customised to their needs. The two route launches strengthen our India network, and allow us to offer an escape from the ordinary to even more Indian travellers, at attractive prices.”
Customers from India can now book their travel from both cities to Singapore, and connect to 60 other destinations across Scoot’s network, including cities in Australia, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand. They can also connect onwards to other destinations on the Singapore Airlines and SilkAir network. Scoot customers with connecting flights within a single booking with Singapore Airlines and/or SilkAir will not be required to pass through immigration in Singapore and their checked baggage will also be delivered to their final destination.
From all its seven India points, Scoot has launched a promotional sale to over 30 destinations on its network, with one-way tax-inclusive FLY fares starting from as low as Rs4,900, and can be booked from FlyScoot.com and the Scoot mobile app.
In addition to attractive fares, Scoot’s wide range of ancillary products and services allow travellers to tailor how they wish to travel. Customers can purchase seats with additional legroom, meals, and more baggage allowance depending on their budget. Those looking for the VIP treatment can choose Scoot-in-Style, Scoot’s package of premium privileges including priority check-in and boarding and lounge access at Singapore Changi Airport.
