Scoot has resumed regular scheduled passenger services from Melbourne to Singapore for the first time since the route was temporarily suspended in March due to COVID-19. Effective 2 November 2020, current regulatory constraints on inbound traffic into Melbourne are in place until 21 November 2020. Only flights from Melbourne to Singapore will carry passengers, until restrictions lift.
The revived passenger services will be able to meet demand for repatriation travel from Australia, especially to India. Scoot has so far conducted five repatriation flight charters carrying over 1,600 passengers returning to India from Australia since September, including two from Melbourne to India cities Amritsar and Chennai.
Scoot’s 787 Dreamliners will operate on the route at a reduced frequency of one direct flight per week. Scoot customers can transit through Singapore Changi Airport from Melbourne and connect to destinations in the SIA Group network currently operated by SIA, SilkAir or Scoot.
The resumed Melbourne-Singapore services joins Scoot’s three-times weekly services between Perth and Singapore. It expands Scoot’s active network to 19 destinations in Asia Pacific, as of the month of November.
