Singapore’s Scoot to Start Some Routes Lost by Jetstar Asia Exit

Singapore Airlines Ltd. and its budget carrier Scoot will launch new routes and increase existing flight frequencies beginning in August, a spokesperson said, filling gaps left by the exit of Qantas Airways Ltd.’s Jetstar Asia.

Scoot will start flights to Okinawa in Japan as well as Medan and Labuan Bajo in Indonesia from October. Between Scoot and Singapore Airlines, the group will also ramp up the number of weekly services to nine other destinations across Malaysia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Philippines through the 2025 northern winter season, subject to regulatory approval.
