Taipei, March 21 (CNA) Scoot will offer six additional flights between Singapore and Northeast Asia, with all routes transiting Taipei from April 1, as the budget airline continues to resume operations paused during the COVID-19 pandemic, a Scoot official said Thursday.
Lee Yong Sin (李榮新), vice president of sales for the Singapore-based low-cost carrier, said at a gathering with reporters in Taipei that the number of flights from Singapore to Japan and South Korea with a stop in Taiwan will increase from 15 to 21 each week.
That change means the number of the Singapore-Taiwan-Tokyo flights per week will increase from seven to 12, and there will be five Singapore-Taiwan-Seoul flights per week, a rise from the current four offered, Lee said.
He added that there will continue to be four weekly Singapore-Taiwan-Sapporo flights.
Lee explained that the only route involving Taiwan that Scoot has not yet resumed is Kaohsiung-Osaka, citing the company's limited capacity. He expects this route to resume in 2025.
