Scoot expands China network with new flights to south-western city of Guiyang
The new service will expand Scoot’s network to 81 weekly flights across 16 cities in mainland China.
Singapore's budget airline Scoot will broaden its reach in China with the introduction of new flights to Guiyang starting October 26. This expansion sees Scoot operating 81 weekly flights to 16 Chinese cities, as reported on August 20 by the airline. The addition of three flights per week to Guiyang aims to provide travelers with an extra getaway option ahead of the year-end holiday season.
The one-way economy-class fares for these Airbus 320neo flights commence at $158, including taxes. Guiyang, situated in southwestern China's Guizhou province, is renowned for its picturesque scenery, mild summers, and rich ethnic heritage. Points of interest in the city include the centuries-old Qingyan Ancient Town and the colossal Huangguoshu Waterfall.
Scoot's CEO Leslie Thng expressed delight at adding Guiyang to the airline's network, emphasizing the strengthened presence in China and improved connectivity between Singapore and other destinations within the Scoot network. To cater to the anticipated surge in travel during the year-end period, Scoot will also increase the frequency of flights to various popular destinations.
These include Hat Yai in Thailand, Phuket in Thailand, Clark in the Philippines, Kota Kinabalu in Malaysia, Okinawa in Japan, Tiruchirappalli in India, and daily flights to Phu Quoc in Vietnam. The transition from the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft to the Airbus 320 family for daily flights to Phu Quoc is expected to begin in October.
