Singapore Airlines to shift planes from SilkAir to budget arm Scoot

Recommended Posts

SINGAPORE: Singapore Airlines Ltd said on Thursday (Jun 21) it expected to transfer some jets from its SilkAir regional airline to budget carrier Scoot, allowing it to compete more effectively against low-cost rivals like AirAsia Group Bhd and Lion Group.


The plan comes after the carrier announced last month it would absorb underperforming SilkAir into the parent brand after 2020 when a program to upgrade cabins at a cost of more than S$100 million (US$73.5 million) gets underway.

Unlike SQ or MI lies in Star Alliance network, Scoot doesn't and hence destination such as KCH or LGK transferred to Scoot from MI has given inconvenience for the passengers to transit in SIN.

The question is how many *A pax are there on those routes?

 

It does not pay to use a high cost SQ/MI product on low yield leisure routes like LGK/KCH.

MI is not a Star Alliance member. You can check bags between SQ, MI, TR and TZ so it should not be any different to the passenger when connecting on one ticket.

MI is not but still under SQ's affiliate and hence Star Alliance members able to sell on behalf MI.
