Scoot boosts flight frequencies and capacity across Asia-Pacific to meet surge in travel demand

    Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), is ramping up operations across Asia-Pacific with increased flight frequencies and enhanced passenger capacity from June to October 2025. This move comes in response to growing regional demand for leisure and business travel.

    Among the key updates, Scoot will double its flights to Iloilo City in the Philippines from twice to four times weekly starting 6 June. Services to Cebu will increase to ten times weekly from 24 June, while Davao flights will rise to 12 times weekly from 30 August, up from the current nine.

    In Australia, Perth flights will see an increase to 14 times weekly from 4 August, and Sydney will follow with the same frequency from 5 October, up from 10. Flights to Thailand’s Koh Samui will also rise from 21 to 25 times weekly from 24 June.

    Significantly, Scoot is upgrading services on high-demand routes with widebody aircraft. Since 30 March, all 21 weekly services to Bali have been operated using Boeing 787 Dreamliners, providing passengers with increased comfort and capacity. This aircraft type also now serves all 12 weekly flights to Taipei and Tokyo (via Taipei).

    From 2 August, Scoot’s Taipei and Seoul (via Taipei) routes will be operated daily, up from five times weekly, further strengthening the carrier’s footprint in Northeast Asia.

    In Indonesia, Scoot has increased frequencies to Jakarta from 19 to 25 times weekly and upgraded its Yogyakarta route with Airbus A321 aircraft on all seven weekly flights. Vietnam’s Phu Quoc saw a modest boost from five to six weekly services as of 15 April.

    Scoot stated that these adjustments are in line with its strategy to remain agile and responsive to evolving passenger needs and market demand. In its announcement, the airline also stated that it remains committed to enhancing its network and connectivity while regularly reviewing routes and aligning capacity to meet the growing appetite for travel.
