Scoot has devoted much thought to configuring our cabin products and services to elevate and transform the low-cost travel experience, enabled by our world-first all-787 Dreamliner fleet, and this has positioned us well to mount our first-ever long-haul flight between Asia-Pacific and Europe,” Lee Lik Hsin, CEO of Budget Aviation Holdings, the wholly owned subsidiary of SIA which owns and manages SIA’s low-cost airline Scoot, said in a statement.
The Singapore airline says that its new service of Singapore-Athens will not only be its first long-haul flight between Asia-Pacific and Europe, but will also be the longest flight in operation by a low-cost airlines, making Scoot stand out from the crowd.
