Scoot (IATA code TR) is a low-cost carrier from Singapore operating out of Singapore Changi.
Founded in 2012 and part of 新航集团.
Scoot, the SIA Group’s LCC, unusually deploys 787 widebodies on medium/long-haul budget routes — strong value to Australia and around Southeast Asia, and a favourite budget path from China to Australia/NZ via Singapore.
As a low-cost carrier, base fares usually exclude checked baggage and seat selection — check what your fare includes, and buy baggage online in advance to save.
Since its founding in 2012, Scoot has grown into a significant force in the Singapore market with the backing of 新航集团.
Network & hub
The network is strongest across Medium/long-haul budget network across Southeast Asia and Australia. Departing from Singapore Changi gets you the best frequencies, timings and irregular-ops backup; from non-base cities expect more one-stops, so watch total journey time when booking.
Booking & travel tips
Booking tips: always compare the total — base fare plus bags plus seats. Baggage is cheapest bought online in advance and several times dearer at the airport; promo fares carry strict change limits, so avoid flash deals when dates are soft. Check in online where possible — some LCCs charge for counter check-in.
