Singapore Airlines has unveiled that the name of
its new low cost airline will be Scoot Airlines.
SIA first announced that it would launch a new low cost airline
in May of this year.
The new airline will compete directly with
AirAsia X, the long haul affiliate of the hugely popular Malaysian
low budget airline AirAsia, as well as other low cost long haul
airlines in the region.
Operations are expected to begin within the next
six months, though no firm date has been fixed. The airline is
wholly owned by Singapore Airlines, but will be operated
independently and managed separately from SIA.
Scoot will use Boeing 777-200 aircraft, but more details of
its branding, terminal to be used, products, services, and exact
route network have not yet been revealed.
