Silkair to Transfer Routes to Scoot Ahead of Merger into Sia

Scoot is to take over a number of Silkair’s routes over the next two years, ahead of Silkair’s merger into Singapore Airlines (SIA). Scoot will transfer some of its services to existing destinations served by SIA and Silkair. The changes are expected to take place between April 2019 and the second half of 2020. They are the result of a detailed review to identify which airlines in the SIA Group portfolio are best suited to meet evolving customer demand. The changes are subject to regulatory approvals. In addition, Silkair will be converting its Mandalay route to a seasonal service. Existing services will end in March 2019 and will resume in November 2019, continuing until January 2020. Scoot will be suspending services to Honolulu with effect from June 2019 as a result of weak demand.
