SINGAPORE – Scoot’s first U.S. flight has departed Singapore for Honolulu and landed in Daniel K. Inouye International (HNL) Airport. The inaugural flight marks the start of Scoot’s four-times-weekly operations between Singapore and Honolulu via Osaka, as well as Scoot’s first non-stop Singapore-Osaka services on top of existing three-times-weekly services via Bangkok and Kaohsiung.
