Scoot CEO Leslie Thng was in Brazil earlier in the week to get a first look at the plane, decked in the airline’s yellow-and-white livery.It is the first time an aircraft from the Brazilian manufacturer is being introduced to the fleet of a Singapore carrier.Another three aircraft will be delivered from September, with the remaining four jets slated to arrive in Singapore by the end of 2025.
“We are all very excited that it is finally here,” Mr Thng told reporters after inspecting the jet, which has an all-economy configuration. Scoot chief operating officer Ng Chee Keong noted that the airline is making history with the new jet. “It is typically unheard of for an aircraft to come into service within such a short span of time,” he said.
This is because Koh Samui’s airport has restrictions on the size of aircraft that can be operated there and Sibu is a less popular destination, reducing the financial viability for larger planes to ply the route. Another three aircraft will be delivered from September, with the remaining four jets slated to arrive in Singapore by the end of 2025.
