SIA, Scoot open entire network to fully-vaxxed travellers

The airlines will no longer designate VTL flights from 1 April.

Singapore Airlines (SIA) and Scoot have announced their fully vaccinated travellers can enjoy quarantine-free entry into Singapore, without any on-arrival test or quarantine requirements, from 1 April.

This comes after the Singapore government simplified the travel protocols for entry into the country.

As a result, SIA and Scoot will no longer designate specific Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) flights. Customers currently booked on a VTL flight on or after 1 April may travel as planned with unchanged bookings. Travellers, regardless of vaccination status, will be allowed to transit through Singapore on almost all SIA and Scoot flights, as long as they meet the entry requirements of their final destination.

According to a spokesperson, "The SIA Group welcomes the latest measures to simplify travel protocols for entry into Singapore. This supports the goal of restoring Singapore's position as a leading tourist destination and premier air hub. It will allow our customers to plan for their holidays and reconnect families and loved ones while also supporting the growing demand for business travel. We look forward to welcoming our customers on board our flights, where they will enjoy our warm hospitality and world-class products and services. The SIA Group will continue to closely monitor travel demand and increase our capacity and services accordingly."
