Scoot, the long-haul, low-cost wholly owned
subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, will launch thrice weekly
flights to Sapporo (New Chitose Airport) via Taipei from 1 October
2016.
Sapporo will be Scoot’s third destination in Japan after Osaka and
Tokyo, bringing the number of services Scoot operates a week to
Japan to 16, from 13 presently.
“Hokkaido has long
been a favourite for winter
skiing holidays, but there is so much else to see and do in
Hokkaido throughout the year!” said Scoot CEO, Mr Campbell Wilson.
“The perfectly cool year-round
climate, even in summer, makes it a breeze to enjoy Hokkaido’s
famed seafood and agricultural produce, luxuriate in the freedom
of self-drive tours, and appreciate its wealth of natural wonders
like the renowned flower fields. Being relatively unspoilt,
Hokkaido also draws many outdoor lovers such as skiers and
snowboarders in the colder seasons, and cyclists, campers and
hikers when it’s warmer.”
Scoot’s Singapore-Taipei-Sapporo
services will be operated using two-class Boeing 787 Dreamliners.
