Scoot scoots with 100,000 passengers

The 100,000th guest was given free ScootBiz upgrade and round-trip tickets.

In a release, two months after launching flights, Scoot, Singapore’s newest low cost airline, welcomed its 100,000th guest.

Earlier this afternoon, Sam Tan and her companion were pleasantly surprised by a group of “Scootees” as they were checking in at Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 2 for their Scoot flight to Bangkok.

Besides receiving a free upgrade to ScootBiz, they also received another pair of round-trip ScootBiz tickets to any of Scoot’s destinations.

“Our heartiest congratulations to Sam and sincerest thanks to the 100,000 guests who’ve Scooted with us since 4 June,” said Campbell Wilson, Scoot’s CEO. “With such fantastic value airfares and more destinations to be launched, we’re looking forward to welcoming hundreds of thousands more guests onboard Scoot in the coming months.”

Scoot’s network and fleet are expanding rapidly, with a third aircraft entering service this week, flights between Singapore and Tianjin starting on 23 August, and Taipei following suit on 18 September. “So, for those have missed the opportunity to be our 100,000th guest, no worries, it won’t be long before we hit the half a million mark,” added Campbell. “So Scoot!”

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
