Scoot transfers operations to Changi Airport Terminal 1

It added self-service check-in and automated bag-drop facilities.

Scoot has completed the shift of its operations from Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 to Terminal 1, according to a press release.

Terminal 1 offered more self-service check-in and automated bag-drop facilities available. The airline also flew its 65 millionth passenger at the same time.

“Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 was where we launched our inaugural flight to Sydney in June 2012, and it has been a wonderful home to us, but moving into Terminal 1 will allow us more room to grow into our expansion plans in the future,” Scoot CEO Lee Lik Hsin said.

In all, 9,877 passengers with 4,726 pieces of checked baggage on 56 flights departing Singapore were processed on the day of the move.

The last Scoot flight arriving into Terminal 2 was TR431 from Kuching to Singapore on 21 October with 115 passengers, whilst the first one from Terminal 1 on 22 October was TR100 from Singapore to Guangzhou with 315 passengers.

Scoot had commenced operational and systems trials, including two trial flights, since August 2019. Additional staff were also deployed at both Terminals 1 and 2 on the day of the move.
