Singapore Airlines’ low-cost subsidiary Scoot announced the launch of new flight services to Chiang Rai in Thailand, and Okinawa and Tokyo (Haneda) in Japan earlier today, 15th August.
These flights will commence progressively between December 2025 and March 2026, with all services transiting through Singapore.
The new routes offer more options for holidaymakers planning their year-end and New Year travels, while providing a convenient stopover in Singapore en route to their final destination.
According to Scoot CEO Leslie Thng: “We are thrilled to expand Scoot’s network in Asia with new routes to Chiang Rai, Okinawa and Tokyo (Haneda), offering our customers even more travel options. In addition, the upcoming increase in services to some cities will support stronger demand for air travel during the year-end and new year holiday periods. We will continue to look for opportunities to connect our customers to new travel experiences and memorable journeys with Scoot.”
A wider network with a growing number of destinations
Scoot’s latest expansion follows the announcement last month of new routes to Da Nang and Nha Trang in Vietnam, as well as Kota Bharu in Malaysia.
These services will roll out progressively between October and November 2025 on the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft.
Scoot also plans to introduce flights to Medan and Labuan Bajo in Indonesia during the Northern Winter 2025 season, with schedules and further details to be announced in due course.
One-way economy class fares start from 6,930 THB to Okinawa and 7,005 THB to Tokyo (Haneda), inclusive of taxes.
The new flights are now available for booking from today via Scoot’s website, mobile application, and progressively through other channels.
With the launch of these new services, Scoot will operate 111 weekly flights to Thailand and 45 weekly flights to Japan.
