Scoot adjusts its network schedule to support stronger travel demand

Scoot announced adjustments to its network in anticipation of stronger demand during the Northern Winter season.

Scoot’s chief commercial officer Calvin Chan said: “We are happy to announce more flights to popular destinations such as Australia, Japan, and South Korea in the Northern Winter season, to cater to higher demand especially during the holidays and festive season. We will continue to seek new opportunities, remain nimble in our aircraft deployment to match demand, and provide our customers with greater convenience and enjoyable travel journeys with Scoot.”

The low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA) declared that, beginning November 2024, extra weekly flights will be mounted to Chiang Mai and Hanoi, increasing services from ten to 11 times weekly and five to six times weekly respectively.

From December 2024, services to Perth will increase from 13 to 14 times weekly. Services to Melbourne will also increase from 12 to 13 times weekly, and subsequently to twice daily from January 2025. In addition, three more weekly flights will be mounted to Seoul (Incheon) via Taipei, making it a daily service. Similarly, services to Tokyo (Narita) via Taipei will also increase from 12 to 14 times weekly. 

Within Southeast Asia, Scoot will be increasing flights to destinations operated by the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft. These include Davao, which will increase from seven to nine times weekly, as well as Balikpapan and Makassar, which will each increase from three to four times weekly. 

More recently, Scoot started operating daily services to Subang in Malaysia from 1 September 2024, and will be launching operations to Kertajati (Greater Bandung) in Indonesia on 28 September 2024 and Malacca in Malaysia on 23 October 2024.

In line with Scoot’s ongoing efforts to optimise its network, services to Ningbo will be suspended, with its last flight scheduled for 26 October 2024.
