Singapore Airlines’ low-cost subsidiary Scoot is keenly watching the growth of tier-2 cities of India to put them on its growing list of destinations and tap into the burgeoning demand for international travel coming from markets beyond the metros. Scoot will commence daily flights from Chennai, its sixth destination in India, from November 5 to Singapore using an Airbus A320. While Chennai was Scoot’s first destination in India, it is the only metro destination on its map.
Scoot presently operates 44 flights to India per week, connecting to five destinations, Trichy, Trivandrum, Visakhapatnam, Amritsar and Coimbatore. The metros and other major destinations are covered by its parent Singapore Airlines.
