Scoot set to launch first India services in March
Scoot plans to launch services to at least 3 Indian destinations by the end of May 2016. Subject to regulatory approvals, the carrier said it will start flying to a south India destination from end March and will expand services over consecutive months to include “1 south Indian metro and 2 destinations in north India.” A Scoot spokesperson said that until the Indian aviation regulator, the DGCA, gives approval it could not disclose exact destinations, but said “it is true we are starting services in India this year.” The carrier said it had completed the required ground handling and technical assistance groundwork to support the flights, but ruled out Mumbai as one of the new destinations. “Mumbai as a destination doesn’t suit our strategy,” it said. Scoot said it would concentrate on leveraging its existing synergies with SIA operations. <br/>
