Overview
- Scoot has firmed five A320neo-family aircraft and exercised six options from a 2014 Airbus deal, with deliveries set to begin in 2028.
- The new commitment lifts the low-cost carrier’s A320neo-family backlog to 20 aircraft to support near-term growth in short-haul capacity.
- All incoming jets will use Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM geared turbofan engines, which cut fuel burn compared with older A320 models.
- The airline will outfit A320neo jets with 186 seats and A321neo jets with 236 seats in single-class cabins to serve routes up to six hours from Singapore.
- Scoot plans to retire six remaining A320ceo aircraft by 2028, aligning the fleet renewal with plans to add routes and feed traffic into the wider Singapore Airlines Group network.
