Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, has launched a virtual interline platform developed with travel technology company Dohop. Dohop’s interline technology allows airlines to form flexible partnerships quickly, complementing traditional interline and codeshare agreements.
With this integration, customers starting their search on Scoot’s website can connect to the platform and book self-connect itineraries, where one leg of the journey is operated by Scoot and the other by a partner airline.
In addition to the convenience of a seamless booking experience, journeys booked through Scoot’s new platform are protected by ConnectSure. This service protects passengers in the event of flight delays or cancellations, ensuring peace of mind on connected journeys.
Through initial partners easyJet and Citilink, customers can now book flights from Singapore to more than 30 additional destinations across Europe and Indonesia, supplementing Scoot’s network of 70 international destinations.
For example, users can book flights from Singapore to European destinations including Milan, Paris and Geneva, or Indonesian destinations such as Kendari, Solo and Ambon.
Sarah Hanan, chief commercial officer at Dohop, said: “This partnership exemplifies the growing trend in the airline industry towards flexible, passenger-centric connectivity. Scoot has been a valuable partner, and we’re excited to see them take this step towards expanding their footprint even further.”
Calvin Chan, chief commercial officer of Scoot, added: “This launch represents an exciting step forward for Scoot as we continue to enhance the travel experience for our customers. This collaboration with Dohop enables our customers to explore a wider range of destinations with ease, and we look forward to building on this momentum and working with additional airline partners to unlock even more travel opportunities for our customers, at the same great value.”
