Scoot adds Tokyo, Taipei flights

SCOOT will introduce daily flights to two new destinations, Tokyo and Taipei, from October.

The low-cost medium and longhaul carrier will operate the Singapore-Tokyo and Singapore-Taipei services using the Boeing 777-200 aircraft.

Scoot's maiden flight to Sydney yesterday was delayed by about 90 minutes due to a technical fault in the plane's cockpit.

Other destinations already marked out by Scoot include Gold Coast in Australia, Tianjin in China, and Bangkok (TTG Asia e-Daily, April 24, 2012).

The carrier's Gold Coast and Tianjin services are scheduled to start on June 12 and August 23, respectively.
