21st May 2015, Singapore – Scoot is delighted to announce its second Japanese destination: Osaka!

Commencing 8th July 2015, Scoot's new Boeing 787 Dreamliners will link Osaka and Singapore six times, with three services operating via Bangkok, Thailand and three via Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

“Osaka has long been on our radar, and we're excited to add it to our network,” said Scoot CEO, Campbell Wilson. “Besides Osaka's many attractions, such as Dotonbori food district, its castle, and Universal Studios Japan, it is also the gateway to the stunning historic capital of Kyoto with its many temples and sights. When combined with our existing service to Tokyo, Scoot's guests can now complete the 'golden triangle' of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka without backtracking.”

Scoot's 787 Dreamliners come equipped with inflight wi-fi, in-seat power and new comfy seats, as well as all the features that have earned Scoot the title of Asia/Pacific's Best Low Cost Airline for 2015[1]; a wide range of hot meals and snacks, extra-legroom seats, streaming video entertainment, Scoot-in-Silence for those aged above 12 and, of course, Scootitude.
