According to Scoot, these flight services were possible as it had acquired two additional Embraer E190-E2 aircraft – bringing its current total to four. It previously announced that it plans to add nine E190-E2 planes to its fleet.
These E190-E2s will also be deployed on existing flights including those to Indonesia’s Makassar, Balikpapan and Pekanbaru, as well as Davao City in the Philippines and Vientiane in Laos.
Leslie Thng, Scoot’s chief executive officer, said: “We are excited to announce the addition of another two new destinations to our growing network – Kertajati in Indonesia and Melaka in Malaysia. Since the launch of our E190-E2 aircraft in May, we continue to see strong demand for our flights, which have connected many of our customers to/from our various destinations across Southeast Asia.”
