Scoot, the low-cost arm of the Singapore Airlines Group (SIA) with its narrow-body Airbus A320 family aircraft offering daily return service, has launched its Thiruvananthapuram-Singapore operations.
Offering 180 seats either way, the inaugural flight took off from Singapore on Tuesday at 8.40 pm local time and reached the Thiruvananthapuram International Airport at 10.00 pm local time.
Transfer from SilkAir
The route had been transferred from sister airline SilkAir, and Scoot’s daily frequency is an increase from SilkAir’s previous five-times-weekly schedule, a company spokesman said.
This offers customers more choice and greater convenience and boosts Thiruvananthapuram’s connectivity with Singapore and the world at large. For example, customers can book seamless connecting flights from Thiruvananthapuram to Singapore and onwards to the wider SIA group network destinations, such as San Francisco and Los Angeles in the US.
Customers from Thiruvananthapuram can connect to nearly 60 destinations on Scoot’s network, including in countries such as Singapore, Australia, Thailand, Indonesia, China, Greece, Germany and more.
One-way tax-inclusive fares start from as low as ₹7,095 for ‘Economy Fly’ seats and ₹9,720 for ‘Economy FlyBagEat’ seats, and can be booked from FlyScoot.com, the spokesman said.
Cheaper fares apart, Scoot offers a range of convenient options to travellers; For instance, FlyBagEat includes an Economy seat (28.5” seat pitch); 20-kg checked baggage allowance; 10-kg carry-on baggage allowance and an onboard meal.
