“Scoot is absolutely delighted that Sydney, one of the world’s great cities, will be our inaugural destination. And as the first true no-frills airline operating nonstop daily between Sydney and Asia, we can’t wait to bring a whole new style of travel, even better airfares and our unique attitude – our Scootitude – to shake things up. Sydney, here we come! “said Campbell Wilson, Scoot’s CEO.
Budget airline Jetstar began its new route from Singapore to Beijing on Thursday, November 24, 2011. Jetstar is the first low-cost carrier to fly this route and capture the small business and leisure travel markets. Jetstar also plans to add two more routes from their base at Singapore’s Changi International Airport to China later in 2012.
“Things are moving very quickly in China,” Jetstar Asia Chief Executive Chong Phit Lian said. “It’s already the world’s third-largest outbound tourist market and moving up. The appetite for Chinese to visit Singapore and the region is growing.”
Jetstar will operate its new Singapore – Beijing route with an Airbus A330. The aircraft has 303 seats and a mixed business and economy class configuration. One-way fares start from SGD128 (USD105) with extra fees for checked luggage and on-board meals.
Starting in mid-2012 with a fleet of four B777-200 aircraft purchased from parent company, Singapore Airlines (SIA), Scoot will offer no-frills service on medium to long haul routes to and from Singapore. It is managed and run independently from SIA, and already operates from separate offices.
Adhering to the low-frills spirit that has proven so popular in short haul arenas in Asia and around the world, Scoot will offer great value airfares up to 40% less than legacy carriers. Guests will be empowered to customize their travel to suit their personal requirements, partaking of only those elements they want and not subsidizing the choices of others. Meals, preferred seats and baggage, amongst many other items, will all be available for selection.
