Amritsar, January 22, 2025 (News Team): Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), today announced the launch of direct flight services to Vienna in Austria and Iloilo City in the Philippines, providing travellers accessibility to even more destinations at great value.
Three times weekly flights to Vienna will begin on 3 June 2025 on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which has the capacity for 329 passengers in two cabin classes. Flights to Iloilo City will commence on 14 April 2025 on the 112-seater Embraer E190-E2 aircraft at an initial frequency of twice weekly, progressively increasing to four times weekly from June 2025.
Vienna, which is dubbed the City of Music, is famous as the birthplace of classical music legends like Mozart and Strauss, making it a dream destination for cultural enthusiasts. The city enchants travellers with its majestic architectural charm, rich heritage and timeless artistic allure. Its central location makes it an excellent gateway to explore Eastern Europe and an ideal starting point for multi-city European adventures on scenic road trips. Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, is just 50 kilometres away from Vienna Airport, while Budapest, Hungary and major cities in Czechia, Croatia, and Slovenia are all within a three-hour drive.
Nestled in the heart of the Philippine archipelago, Iloilo City is a lively haven known for its stunning Spanish-era churches and one of the largest religious festivals in the Philippines, the Dinagyang Festival. This bustling city offers a perfect mix of cultural charm and hidden gems waiting to be discovered, making it an attractive escapade for a quick recharge.
Leslie Thng, Chief Executive Officer of Scoot said, “We remain committed to expanding our network and connecting travellers to new destinations around the world at a great value. As the only airline offering direct flights between Singapore and Vienna, we are thrilled to introduce this new service from June, just in time for the holidays. With the launch of direct flights to Iloilo City, we also hope to inspire our customers to explore more cities within South East Asia and embark on new travel experiences.”
