Scoot Spreads its Wings to Four New Cities in China
Singapore - Scoot today launched sales to four new cities in China - Wuhan, Changsha, Kunming and Fuzhou - with a limited period promotion from 25 April 2019 to 5 May 2019 on FlyScoot.com. One-way all-in fares on Economy FLY will start from as low as SGD 79 to Wuhan, and SGD 99 to Changsha, Fuzhou and Kunming. One-way all-in fares on ScootBiz to Wuhan will start from SGD 269.
With the addition of the four new cities, Scoot, one of the largest foreign low-cost carriers operating in China, will cover 23 mainland Chinese cities, with more than 100 flights to China weekly. These routes were transferred from sister airline SilkAir to better meet customer demand.
Mr Lee Lik Hsin, Scoot's Chief Executive Officer, said, "The addition of the four new cities - Wuhan, Changsha, Kunming and Fuzhou - not only strengthens our China network, but also offers more unconventional options for travellers for a short getaway, at affordable prices. These four destinations are each on their own, a gateway to rich Chinese history and nature and we are confident that they will appeal to a wide variety of travellers."
Wuhan, the capital city of Hubei province, is one of China's largest cities comprising of three ancient towns - Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang. Besides being the transportation hub and key economic, political, financial and cultural centre of central China, it also has beautiful attractions such as the Yellow Crane Tower, Guiyuan Temple and East Lake. Wuhan University campus is also an alternative destination for travellers on a hunt for cherry blossoms.
Three-times-weekly flights to Wuhan, operated with Scoot's Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, are slated to commence on 22 May 2019, going up to a daily frequency from 1 June 2019 onwards.
