SilkAir to transfer some 737s to Scoot
SIA has revealed that it would transfer some Boeing 737s from its regional arm SilkAir to its low-cost unit Scoot. SIA says that both pilots and cabin crew will be recruited by Scoot to support its future 737 operations. It adds that the transfer of the 737s is part of the group's planned integration, where there will be transfers of routes and aircraft between the different airlines in its portfolio. This is consistent with ongoing efforts "to optimise the SIA Group's network". Last month, the group announced that it would merge SilkAir with the mainline SIA brand. The full merger, which will take place after 2020, will also see the refurbishment of SilkAir's cabin. This will include new lie-flat seats in business class and seat-back-in-flight entertainment systems in both business and economy classes. <br/>
