The carrier’s E2 services will begin in May.
Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), has received its first of nine new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft (Explorer 3.0) from Azorra in a handover ceremony conducted in Brazil.
Explorer 3.0 is the third addition to Scoot’s fleet. Scoot will start its E2 services in May with an inaugural flight to Krabi, Thailand.
“We are honoured to be the first Singapore carrier to take delivery of this modern and fuel-efficient aircraft. The E190-E2 jets are crucial to our overall network growth strategy,” Scoot CEO Leslie Thng said.
“The delivery of the first Embraer E190-E2 reflects our confidence in the demand for air travel and our commitment to connect our customers to more destinations at the same great value,” Thng added.
