Scoot’s first Embraer E190-E2 starts flying

Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), on Tuesday started operating its first Embraer E190-E2 aircraft and hosted a launch event at Singapore Changi Airport. “Today’s launch of our first E190-E2 would not have been possible without the support of our partners and unwavering commitment of all our staff to ensure a successful entry into service. The E190-E2, with its modern operating capabilities and fuel-efficient credentials, was a natural choice as we looked to grow Scoot’s fleet. We are confident that with this new-generation aircraft, we will continue to strengthen our presence in the region, enhance our connectivity to non-metro destinations and provide our customers with even more memorable travel experiences,” said Scoot Chief Executive Officer Leslie Thng. The second E190-E2 aircraft has also arrived in Singapore and is in the final phase of preparations for operations. The remaining seven aircraft are expected to be progressively delivered by the end of 2025. As of 7 May 2024, Scoot currently flies to 67 destinations across 15 countries and territories in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.
