Scoot to improve connectivity and other services.

 
Singapore airlines Scoot announced launch of direct flights between Lucknow and Singapore thrice a week from August 2, 2017. The company has even launched promotional low fares for early birds who book tickets to Singapore for travelling till March 2018 before August 6.
Nine months after Scoot and Tigerair announced their intention to pursue a single brand and operating licence under the enhanced Scoot brand, the airline industry bade farewell to Tigerair Singapore as its last flight departed Singapore for Tiruchirappalli on July 24. Now all previous Tigerair flights will be operated under the Scoot brand and Scoot flights will operate under the TR flight designator code.


Company said that this marks the completion of the Scoot-Tigerair integration process that began last May when the airlines were brought under a common holding company, Budget Aviation Holdings. Company said that after successfully commencing operations in India last year, Scoot is all set to take up new destinations under its umbrella that were running under Tigerair. These include Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kochi, Tiruchirappalli and Lucknow which will now operate under the single brand name .
Scoot CEO Lee Lik Hsin said, "As we come to the end of Tigerair's journey, we open up a brand new chapter for Scoot. Building on what Tigerair and the old Scoot had achieved since their respective inceptions, we are stronger than we have ever been before, and consequently in an even better position to offer our guests more choice, connectivity and value. The enhanced Scoot that we are introducing today is spunky and sassy, and promises to create more travel opportunities for our guests."
Bharath Mahadevan, Country Head, India, Scoot said that it was very well received after the launch of our first three destinations in India last year. "We hope to create the same impact in Bengaluru, Tiruchirappalli, Kochi, Lucknow and Hyderabad by bringing great prices without compromising on the safety and comfort of the passengers. When flying with a young and passionate airline like Scoot, our guests can expect a safe, reliable and contemporary travel experience", he added.
Lee also disclosed the five new destinations that Scoot will start operating by June 2018. Among them are Honolulu, Scoot's maiden USA destination, and Harbin in Northeast China. The remaining three are short-haul destinations - Kuching and Kuantan in Malaysia, and Palembang in Indonesia. Coupled with the addition of the previous Tigerair network, the five new services will bring Scoot's total destination count to 65 across 18 countries.
