Scoot unveils new Qingdao & Shenyang Schedules

Scoot, Singapore’s newest low cost carrier, today unveiled new schedules for its two new routes in China, Qingdao and Shenyang.  To celebrate, promotional fares for guests outbound to these two destinations go on sale today, for travel commencing 11 January 2013.

Said Campbell Wilson, CEO of Scoot, “The confirmation of our Shenyang and Qingdao schedule is an early Christmas present for us, and to share the cheer we’re offering fantastic promotional fares.  What better time for a change of climate!  Travellers can enjoy the crisp coolness of Qingdao or Shenyang, or take the opportunity to experience the world-famous Harbin International Ice and Snow Sculpture Festival, just a stone’s throw from Shenyang.

The new schedule requires the thrice-weekly service to operate a route of Singapore–Qingdao–Shenyang–Qingdao–Singapore routing, instead of the originally-planned circular routing of Singapore–Shenyang–Qingdao–Singapore.  

Said Campbell, “We’re sorry for any inconvenience the change in routing may cause those already booked, but seek guests’ understanding that this is due to the request of the authorities.  However, with this confirmed routing, Scoot is the only airline to operate non-stop between Singapore and Qingdao and the only airline to operate a same-plane, wide-body service to Shenyang.  These cities are great additions to Scoot’s fast-growing network, and to Singapore’s aviation hub.”
