Scoot to Hawaii & beyond

TIGERAIR Singapore is a thing of the past, after the airline flew its final flight on 24 Jul from Singapore to Tiruchirappalli.

The airline has been morphed into Scoot, nine months after the pair announced their intention to pursue a single brand and operating licence ( TD 04 Nov).

All previous Tigerair Singapore flights will be operated under the Scoot brand and Scoot flights will operate under the TR flight designator code.

Scoot ceo Lee Lik Hsin said the merge had put the new Scoot into a stronger position than before, which allowed the airline to offer “more choice, connectivity and value”.

“The enhanced Scoot that we are introducing today is spunky and sassy, and promises to create more travel opportunities for our guests,” he said.

On top of the new changes, Scoot will also fly to five new destinations by Jun 2018.

The routes include the airline’s maiden USA destination Honolulu, Harbin in Northeast China, and short haul destinations of Kuching & Kuantan in Malaysia, and Palembang in Indonesia.

Scoot’s crew members will also be decked out in new uniforms as part of the brand.

The threads ( pictured) feature new dresses for women and polo tops for men, which contain elements of both brands.

TR has also debuted its first Airbus A320 in the Scoot livery.

All Tigerair Singapore planes will be rebadged with the Scoot livery by mid-2018.
