Scoot has placed a firm order for five Airbus A320neo family aircraft and exercised options for six additional aircraft from its earlier agreement with Airbus. The 11 aircraft are scheduled for delivery from 2028.
With this addition, Scoot’s A320neo family orderbook will increase to 20 aircraft. The new aircraft will be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM engines and configured in a single-class layout, with 186 seats on the A320neo and 236 seats on the A321neo.
The additional aircraft are intended to support network expansion within a five- to six-hour range from Singapore, enabling the airline to introduce new routes and optimise connections within the wider Singapore Airlines Group network.
Scoot has continued to expand its network in recent years, adding 25 destinations since FY2022/2023, including Chiang Rai and Phu Quoc, as well as Vienna. By June 2026, the airline is expected to serve 85 destinations, with 37 operated exclusively by Scoot, contributing to connectivity through Changi Airport.
The airline currently operates a fleet of 63 aircraft, including Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Airbus A320 family aircraft and Embraer E190-E2 jets. As part of its fleet renewal programme, Scoot plans to retire its remaining A320ceo aircraft by 2028.
New-generation aircraft form part of the airline’s efforts to improve fuel efficiency. The A320neo family is expected to reduce fuel consumption and emissions compared to earlier models, supporting broader sustainability targets within the Singapore Airlines Group.
“We expect travel demand to continue growing, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, in the coming years. The range and capacity of the A320neo family aircraft will enable Scoot to expand and deepen the SIA Group’s network connectivity, providing the SIA Group with new growth opportunities and offering customers more seamless travel options,” said Leslie Thng, CEO of Scoot.
“Scoot’s mix of Embraer E190-E2 regional jets, Airbus A320 family narrowbody aircraft, and Boeing 787 family widebody aircraft allows us to operate an extensive network of flights. This covers short, medium, and longhaul routes, which complement the broader SIA network and further enhance Singapore’s position as a leading global aviation hub,” he added.
