In a statement, Scoot Chief Executive Officer Leslie Thng said: “As the only airline offering direct flights between Singapore and Vienna, we are thrilled to introduce this new service from June, just in time for the holidays. With the launch of direct flights to Iloilo City, we also hope to inspire our customers to explore more cities within South East Asia and embark on new travel experiences.”
Suspension of Flights to Berlin and Jinan
While announcing the new routes to Vienna and Iloilo, Scoot also announced it will suspend its flights to Berlin and Jinan after their last flights on March 28 (Berlin) and Jinan (February 28).
Following the suspension of its flights to Berlin, Scoot will still have two destinations on its network in Europe – Athens and Vienna. Iloilo will be the budget airline's fifth destination in the Philippines after Manila, Clark, Cebu, and Davao.
Between Singapore and Iloilo, Scoot will compete with Philippine-based budget carrier Cebu Pacific on the route.
