Scoot scoots to Melbourne

Scoot will operate the route five times weekly.

Low-cost carrier Scoot Pte Ltd (Scoot) has launched nonstop services to Melbourne just in time for The Melbourne Cup, according to a press release by the company.

“Scoot has long received requests to fly to Melbourne, Australia’s sporting and cultural capital, so we’re delighted to finally be doing so,” said Campbell Wilson, Scoot CEO.

The addition of Melbourne brings Scoot’s total number of destinations to 17 in eight countries and territories. Melbourne is Scoot’s fourth Australian destination.

"The arrival of Scoot to Victoria is a real vote of confidence in our visitor economy and a big win for our state. It gives more visitors from our key Asian markets a chance to travel here for themselves and see we have the best of everything," said the Honourable John Eren, Minister for Tourism and Major Events, Sport and Veterans in the State of Victoria.

The airline’s rapidly growing fleet of brand-new 787 Dreamliners boasts modern amenities such as inflight Wi-Fi and in-seat power supply.

“Scoot will operate the route five times weekly, rising to daily during peak travel periods,” said the press release.

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.
