SINGAPORE, 4 July 2024: Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), announced Thursday the launch of new flight services to Danang and Nha Trang in Vietnam, and Kota Bharu in Malaysia.
These flights will commence progressively between October and November 2025.
Subject to regulatory approvals, Scoot will also launch services to Medan and Labuan Bajo in Indonesia, and Okinawa in Japan, during the Northern Winter 2025 season that starts in late October.
Danang is known for its beautiful beaches, numerous bridges and natural beauty like the Marble Mountains. It also provides easy access to the UNESCO World Heritage site, My Son Sanctuary, and ancient towns like Hoi An and Hue. Further south in Vietnam, Nha Trang’s bustling nightlife and fresh seafood are a draw for those seeking a tropical getaway.
Three times weekly flights to Danang will begin on 20 October 2025 using an Airbus A320. Flights will progressively increase to daily flights by December 2025.
Two times weekly flights to Nha Trang will commence on 21 November 2025, operated by the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, and will progressively increase to five times weekly flights by January 2026.
Kota Bharu, known for its royal palaces, riverside mosques and bustling markets, is a cultural and historical hub in Malaysia’s Kelantan state. It offers travellers an authentic glimpse into traditional Malay culture, including Rebana Ubi (traditional drums), Silat Dance and Wayang Kulit (shadow puppetry).
Scoot will operate twice-weekly flights to Kota Bharu, starting from 26 October 2025, using the E190-E2 aircraft.
One-way economy class fares start from SGD115 to Danang, SGD78 to Kota Bahru and SGD135 to Nha Trang, inclusive of taxes.
The new flights opened for bookings on Thursday, 3 July, via Scoot’s website and mobile application, and will be progressively available through other channels.
With the launch of services to Kota Bharu, Danang and Nha Trang, Scoot will operate 115 weekly flights to 12 cities in Malaysia and 44 weekly flights to five cities in Vietnam.
In addition to the new destinations, Scoot will also make adjustments to its network from July 2025, in anticipation of increased demand for air travel.
