Scoot has launched non-stop flights between
Singapore Changi and its fourth Australian destination, Melbourne.
Scoot will operate the route with Boeing 787
Dreamliner aircraft five times weekly, rising to daily during peak
travel periods.
Scoot’s 787 Dreamliner features modern
conveniences such as inflight internet and in-seat power
throughout the aircraft.
“Scoot has long received requests to fly to
Melbourne, Australia’s sporting and cultural capital, so we’re
delighted to finally be doing so,” said Campbell Wilson, Scoot
CEO. “We’re even more pleased to be using a brand-new 787, part of
the world’s first all Dreamliner fleet.”
Scoot’s one-way fares from Melbourne to Singapore start
from $209 economy (including all taxes), and Scoot Biz fares start
from $499 inclusive of taxes, 30kg check-in baggage, and up to
15kg carry onboard bags, with a premium meal, priority check in
and boarding.
John Eren, Minister for Tourism
and Major Events, Sport and Veterans in the State of Victoria,
said, "The arrival of Scoot to Victoria is a real vote of
confidence in our visitor economy and a big win for our state. It
gives more visitors from our key Asian markets a chance to travel
here for themselves and see we have the best of everything."
The addition of Melbourne brings the total
number of Scoot destinations to 17 in eight countries and
territories.
