Scoot scoots to its first European destination as it unveils flights to Greek capital

It marks the longest flight by a low-cost carrier.

The budget airline will soon be flying to the European continent as it announces flights on its 787 Dreamliner to Athens starting 20 June 2017.

According to a press release by Scoot, its first European destination marks the longest flight operated by a low-cost carrier with flight distance exceeding 10,000km.

The report added that the first European flights signal the Singapore Airlines Group’s strategic move to stimulate passenger traffic between Asia Pacific and Europe, as well as to boost connectivity through the Singapore hub.

“To commemorate its foray into Europe, Scoot is offering attractive one-way Economy FLY fares to and from Athens starting from $288, inclusive of taxes; $888 for ScootBiz,” the report noted.

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.
