Budget airline Scoot to expand services to 3 news Indian cities

Scoot, the budget arm of Singapore Airlines group, has expanded its network in India by adding three cities, namely Coimbatore, Trivandrum and Visakhapatnam, to its global route map.

These new routes are due to be transferred over from sister airline, SilkAir. Following this, Scoot will be the only airline operating direct non-stop flights from Trivandrum and Visakhapatnam to Singapore.

While the services from Trivandrum to Singapore will start from May 7, the flights from Coimbatore and Visakhapatnam will commence from October 27.

Presently, Scoot is operating its flight service to seven destinations in India, including Amritsar, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Kochi, Lucknow, and Tiruchirappalli, from Singapore. 

Vinod Kannan, Chief Commercial Officer, Scoot, said, "With three new cities, India is a big part of our growth in Asia this year. As we ramp up our operations in the region and establish a local team to help support our long-term objectives, customers can look forward to more affordable fares and innovative offerings from us."
