Scoot welcomes 3rd & 4th Embraer E190-E2 aircraft; adds new routes to its network

The third and fourth E190-E2 aircraft are expected to be delivered in September and October 2024 with two new destinations added to Scoot’s network – Kertajati (Greater Bandung) and Malacca

Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), announced that it will receive its third and fourth Embraer E190-E2 aircraft in Singapore in September and October 2024. The third aircraft is named Jalan-Jalan, while the fourth aircraft is named Travel Kaki.

With the addition of the new aircraft, Scoot will launch flight services to two new Southeast Asian destinations, namely, Kertajati (Greater Bandung) in Indonesia and Malacca in Malaysia. Flights to Kertajati will commence on September 28, 2024, at twice-weekly frequency, while Malacca will be served five-times weekly from October 23, 2024.

Scoot will also be deploying the E190-E2s on some existing services. This includes twice weekly flights to Pekanbaru on the E190-E2s in addition to its thrice weekly flights on the Airbus A320 aircraft, and increased flight frequencies from three to four-times weekly to Balikpapan and Makassar, from October 2024. From November 2024, the E190-E2s will also operate nine-times weekly flights to Davao, an increase from seven-times weekly today, and from December 2024, four-times weekly flights to Vientiane, an increase from three-times weekly today.

The addition of Kertajati and Malacca to Scoot’s network follows the recent announcement of another new destination, Subang in Malaysia, effective September 1, 2024. Subang, located just 28 kilometres from Kuala Lumpur, provides travellers an alternative and convenient gateway to the Malaysian capital.

Together with destinations served by Scoot’s existing fleet, Scoot will operate 78 weekly flights to Indonesia and 115 weekly flights to Malaysia by October 2024, 37 weekly flights to Philippines by November 2024, and four weekly flights to Laos by December 2024.

Leslie Thng, Scoot’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Since the launch of our E190-E2 aircraft in May, we continue to see strong demand for our flights, which have connected many of our customers to/from our various destinations across Southeast Asia. We remain confident in the demand for air travel and invite our customers to “Jalan-Jalan” and explore new destinations with their “Travel Kakis”, immerse themselves in local cultures and create more memorable travel experiences with us.”.
