Scoot flying on robust travel demand

Scoot, the low-cost arm of Singapore Airlines Group, said it is fully confident in the growth potential of China's air travel market, boosted by the country's robust demand for traveling abroad. The budget carrier plans to further expand its network and increase flight frequencies in China.

The low-cost airline is a foreign carrier that has resumed most of its flights to China since the COVID-19 pandemic.

Before the pandemic, Scoot operated direct flights connecting Singapore and 19 Chinese mainland cities, standing as the carrier that operated the highest number of flights connecting the two countries. Now, it has resumed flights to 17 Chinese mainland cities, accounting for 20 percent of its global network.
