SCOOT has unveiled Australia’s Gold Coast as its second port of call, having already chosen Sydney as its first stop (TTG Asia e-Daily, December 1, 2011).
“(The route to Sydney will provide) direct access to one of the world’s premier air hubs for Queensland and north New South Wales, and to one of the world’s best holiday destinations for Singaporeans,” the airline’s chief executive Campbell Wilson was quoted by Agence France-Presse as saying.
The medium- and longhaul low-cost carrier will begin flying out of Changi International Airport from middle of this year, starting with a single Boeing 777-200 aircraft, before expanding to four B777-200s within three months and 14 by mid-2016.
Scoot also intends to fly to China, with longer term plans to fly to India, Europe, Africa and the Middle East.
