Scoot launches ticket sales for first non-stop service to Tokyo

Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), has launched the ticket sales for its first non-stop flight from Singapore to Tokyo, Japan. Passengers can book tickets for travel from 1 August. Pre-pandemic, Scoot operated flight services to Tokyo via Taipei and Bangkok. Customers can also book flights – for travel from 1 September – for its non-stop service to Osaka, resumed since it was stopped due to the pandemic. In a note to media, Scoot said that fares for Singapore – Tokyo (Narita) and Singapore – Osaka start from S$263 and S$296, respectively (taxes inclusive, one way). The flight services will be operated by Scoot’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners. Japan started to allow tourists from certain countries – who are on approved group tours – to enter the country from 10 June. In May, Scoot launched sales of a new thrice weekly direct flight service to Jeju, South Korea, which will start from 15 June. It said then that the approximately six-hour flight service will be operated by Scoot’s Airbus A321neo aircraft, and promotional fares are pegged from S$300 for one-way trips, inclusive of taxes.<br/>
