SINGAPORE Airlines’ new medium- and longhaul low-cost subsidiary (TTG Asia e-Daily, August 26) is slated to take off in April next year.

The Straits Times reported yesterday that Scoot Airlines would start off with a single Boeing 777-200 aircraft, before expanding its fleet to four 777-200s within three months and 14 by mid-2016.

While exact destinations have yet to be confirmed, the airline is expected to fly to destinations in Australia, New Zealand, the US and Europe.
