Scoot, Asia Pacific’s Best Low Cost
Airline for four consecutive years and the low-cost arm of Singapore
Airlines (SIA), plans to spread its wings to its second European and third
long-haul destination – Berlin – in the second half of 2018.
The four-times-weekly
Singapore-Berlin flights will be operated with Boeing 787 Dreamliners, subject
to regulatory approval. Berlin will be the SIA Group’s fourth destination in
Germany, after Düsseldorf, Frankfurt and Munich, which are operated by SIA.
Scoot Will Fly To Berlin Germany Next Year 2018
Mr Lee Lik Hsin, Scoot’s Chief Executive Officer, said, “Scoot’s merger with
Tigerair Singapore earlier this year has greatly strengthened our position,
standing us in good stead to launch and sustain our long-haul operations.
Athens has lived up to our expectations while bookings for Honolulu have been
very promising. We are excited to bring our unique Scootitude to Berlin and
can’t wait to launch those great value fares that Scoot is known for!” Scoot
intends to launch sales for Berlin in the first quarter of 2018.
Germany is the largest economy in Europe,
while Berlin is a hub within Europe for technological innovation and boasts a
strong entrepreneurial and start-up culture. Berlin’s rich history is
unsurpassed and it is also famed for its arts and culture, having been
designated a “City of Design” by UNESCO in 2006 and included in UNESCO’s
Creative Cities network.
Scoot’s current route network comprises 62 destinations across 16 countries, with
services to Honolulu launching in December, and Kuantan flights commencing in
February 2018. Scoot operates a fleet
of 16 787 Dreamliners and 23 Airbus A320 family aircraft, with four more Boeing 787
Dreamliners and 39 Airbus A320neo aircraft on order.
