Scoot begins Singapore-Taipei flights

402 seats per flight available daily to and from the Taiwan capital.

Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson said though that it will take "a few weeks" for the flights to reach daily flight status.

"And daily not only to Singapore - from late October we’ll continue on to Tokyo Narita and become the first low cost airline linking these two fantastic cities," Mr Wilson said.

"Scoot is therefore proud to be linking Taipei with Singapore, and with Tokyo, and to strengthen the deep ties that already exist between these cities. We are delighted to be bringing our unique blend of service and value to Taiwan, and of course, tourism and business opportunities," he added.

Scoot’s inaugural Singapore-Taipei service departed Changi Airport Terminal 2 at 1.12am on Tuesday, 18 September 2012 and arrived at Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport ahead of schedule at 5.17am. The first flight from Taipei departed for Singapore on the same day at 6.22pm.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
