SINGAPORE, Feb 18 (Boomberg): Singapore Airlines’ budget arm Scoot signed a letter of intent to add Embraer regional jets to its fleet in a push to fly to smaller destinations in Asia’s emerging markets.

Scoot will start taking delivery of nine E190 E2 jets from 2024, the carrier said in a statement on Friday.


The aircraft will be sourced from leasing company Azorra, and will allow Scoot to tap growth and match capacity to demand as it enhances its regional network, the statement said.

The agreements marks the first time Singapore’s main airline is ordering Embraer planes and is a major boost for the Brazilian planemaker, which is seeking to secure the future for its flagship commercial aircraft.


Bloomberg News in December first reported on Embraer’s efforts to sell regional jets to Singapore Airlines’ low-cost unit in an order that could grow to as many as 50 planes over time, as the carrier seeks to widen its reach in neighbouring Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines.

Scoot’s fleet accounts for about a quarter of the wider Singapore Airlines Group’s 200 aircraft. The budget unit currently operates Airbus A320neo and Boeing 787 Dreamliner jets.

Scoot chief executive officer Leslie Thng said last week that the carrier could recover to 100 per cent of its pre-pandemic capacity in 2023, and potentially go beyond that from its current level of 80 per cent. - Bloomberg

Very safe. Used by major european airlines including klm and Lufthansa and swiss/ helvetic. And its seats are wider plus in 2+2 configuration. Like flying business class in economy.

Good job Scoot!
I will refuse to fly 737Max8. And later on all Boeing aircraft as you can no longer trust them anymore.

All budget airlines are equally fucked up in their own special ways.

But personally, I would avoid anything linked with SIA and GLCs whenever possible, so boycott Scoot.

Do the new aircrafts come with unvaccinated pilots ?

Scoot will sealed its No. 1 spot among budget airlines if they provide unvaccinated pilots and cabin crew.
