Scoot, part of the Singapore Airlines Group, began its India operations on May 24, 2016, with a flight from Chennai to Singapore Changi Airport, taking over operations from sister low-cost carrier Tigerair. It subsequently launched a service to Amritsar.
Extending its horizon in India, Scoot will commence a service to Jaipur on October 2, with fares ranging from Rs 4,699 for the economy class (between October 2, 2016, and March 25, 2017). “Jaipur was an untapped market, and an interesting trend seen here is that a lot of people from Delhi would take flights abroad via Jaipur,” Scoot Country Head (India) Bharath Mahadevan told DH.
Explaining Scoot’s India strategy, Mahadevan said that the airline is bullish on tier I and II cities, hinting at Madurai, Pune, Chandigarh, and Bengaluru, to be in focus. “However, we can take definitive decisions on expanding our service to the said destinations, depending on the outcome of future bilateral discussions in this regard (between India and Singapore),” Mahadevan clarified, adding that there is huge demand seen emerging out of towns such as Jalandhar, Erode, Salem, and Ludhiana, as well.
