- Vienna, Scoot’s new destination.
- The Austrian capital will be added to its schedule for the first time.
- Flights will be operated from Singapore with Boeing 787-8 aircraft.
Scoot Airlines, the low-cost subsidiary of the Singapore Airlines Group, announced it will begin operating between Singapore International Airport and Vienna starting June 3rd.

Vienna will become Scoot’s second destination in Europe after Athens, which is also served from Singapore. Currently, in addition to the Greek capital, the low cost carrier also operates between SIN and Berlin via Athens four times weekly, but will suspend services to the German capital in order to adjust its network according to demand and optimize aircraft utilization.
