Scoot receives first E190-E2 aircraft from Azorra

The carrier’s E2 services will begin in May.

Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), has received its first of nine new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft (Explorer 3.0) from Azorra in a handover ceremony conducted in Brazil.

Explorer 3.0 is the third addition to Scoot’s fleet. Scoot will start its E2 services in May with an inaugural flight to Krabi, Thailand.

“We are honoured to be the first Singapore carrier to take delivery of this modern and fuel-efficient aircraft. The E190-E2 jets are crucial to our overall network growth strategy,” Scoot CEO Leslie Thng said.

“The delivery of the first Embraer E190-E2 reflects our confidence in the demand for air travel and our commitment to connect our customers to more destinations at the same great value,” Thng added.

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.
