Scoot to Take Delivery of Jalan-Jalan and
Travel Kaki E190-E2s in September and October
(06/08/24)
Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore
Airlines, has confirmed that it expects to receive its third and
fourth Embraer E190-E2 aircraft in September and
October 2024, respectively.
The third aircraft has been named Jalan-Jalan, whilst the
fourth is Travel Kaki.
The two new aircraft will enable Scoot to launch flights
to Kertajati in Greater Bandung, Indonesia, and Malacca in Malaysia.
Twice weekly flights to Kertajati will
commence on 28 September 2024, whilst
Malacca will be served with five flights per week from 23 October 2024.
Besides Kertajati and Malacca as new
destinations, Scoot will also deploy the E190-E2s on some
existing services, including twice weekly flights to Pekanbaru
on the E190-E2s in addition to its thrice weekly flights on Airbus A320 aircraft, and increased flight frequencies from thrice to four-times weekly to Balikpapan and Makassar, from October
2024.
From November 2024, the E190-E2s will also operate
nine flights per week to Davao, an increase from seven-times
weekly today, and from December 2024, four flights per week to
Vientiane, Laos, an increase from thrice weekly today.
The
addition of Kertajati and Malacca to Scoot’s network follows the
recent announcement of another new destination, Subang in
Malaysia, effective 1 September 2024. Subang, located just 28
kilometres from Kuala Lumpur, provides travellers an alternative
and convenient gateway to the Malaysian capital.
Together
with destinations served by Scoot’s existing fleet, Scoot will
operate 78 weekly flights to Indonesia and 115 weekly flights to
Malaysia by October 2024, 37 weekly flights to Philippines by
November 2024, and four weekly flights to Laos by December 2024.
The airline’s network will also expand to 72 destinations,
providing more direct connections for travellers to non-metro
cities across Southeast Asia.
Flights to Kertajati and Malacca are now available
for booking via Scoot’s website, mobile app, and
will become progressively available through other channels, with all-in Economy class
sale fares starting from SGD92 to Kertajati and SGD69 to Malacca,
inclusive of taxes.
“We are excited to announce the addition of another
two new destinations to our growing network – Kertajati in
Indonesia and Malacca in Malaysia. Since the launch of our E190-E2
aircraft in May, we continue to see strong demand for our flights,
which have connected many of our customers to/from our various
destinations across Southeast Asia,” said Leslie Thng, Scoot’s
Chief Executive Officer. “We remain confident in the demand for
air travel and invite our customers to 'Jalan-Jalan' and explore
new destinations with their 'Travel Kakis', immerse themselves in
local cultures and create more memorable travel experiences with
us.”
