As more countries relax entry and
COVID19-related requirements in the region, Scoot is gradually
expanding its network with new route launches and resumptions.
From 16 and 24
October 2022 respectively, Scoot will launch twice weekly flights
to Lombok and Makassar, as well as twice weekly flights to
Yogyakarta and Pekanbaru, from 15
October and 24 October 2022 respectively,
increasing Scoots existing network in Indonesia to eight cities.
Scoot currently operates
four-times weekly flights to Hong Kong, daily non-stop flights to
Tokyo (Narita) and Seoul (Incheon), five-times weekly flights to
Osaka and thrice weekly flights to Jeju. From the end of
October 2022, the low-cost Singapore Airlines subsidiary will increase the frequency of flights to Jeju
to five-times weekly, and its Osaka service will be increased to
daily. Additionally, seasonal non-stop flights between Singapore
and Hokkaido (Sapporo) will be mounted from November 2022 to
February 2023.
The airline also offers flights to Tokyo, Sapporo and
Seoul via Taipei and from the end of October will increase the frequency of
its Singapore-Taipei-Tokyo flights to daily
services, and thrice weekly Singapore-Taipei Sapporo flights
and five-times weekly Singapore-Taipei-Seoul flights will be
reinstated. Consequently, Scoot will operate a total of
18 flights per week to Taipei.
Scoot has also decided to increase the frequency
of its Pikachu Jet flights. From November, the Pikachu Jet will
operate three fixed routes per month, on the Singapore-Tokyo,
Singapore-Taipei-Tokyo and Singapore-Taipei-Seoul routes, offering
Pokmon fans more chances to fly on the plane.
The Changi-based carrier resumed
weekly flights to Fuzhou and increased flight frequency to
Nanjing to twice weekly on 26 September. It also
resumed flights to Hangzhou on 3 October, with Zhengzhou set to
take off on 12 October and Wuhan on 13 October. The airline will
also increase the flight frequency to Tianjin to twice weekly from
11 October 2022. The Greater China region remains a key part of
Scoots network with 21 destinations prior to the pandemic, almost
half of which will be reinstated by mid-October.
