Get ready, Southeast Asia—Scoot is making it easier (and more affordable) than ever to explore the region.
The Singaporean low-cost airline, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, just announced plans to launch six new direct routes in late 2024 and early 2025. Destinations include not only sunny favorites like Krabi, Thailand and Sibu, Malaysia, but also exciting new gateways to Vietnam and beyond.
What’s new?
Scoot’s expanded network includes:
- Krabi, Thailand (Dec 2024)
- Sibu, Malaysia (Jan 2025)
- New destinations in Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines (to be revealed soon!)
While the airline hasn’t confirmed the exact cities in Vietnam yet, travel insiders speculate Da Nang, Nha Trang, or even Hue could be on the list—perfect for tapping into both beach-loving tourists and culturally curious travelers.
Why it matters
The move comes as Southeast Asia sees a major tourism rebound. Vietnam alone welcomed over 10.7 million international tourists in the first half of 2025. And with more demand comes more opportunity for direct, budget-friendly air routes that connect the dots between adventure and affordability.
Travel agents and tour operators should keep a close eye on Scoot’s rollout. These routes offer exciting potential for:
- New multi-country packages
- Shorter travel times
- Affordable options for Free Independent Travelers and small group bookings
A golden chance for Vietnam
For Vietnam’s tourism industry, especially beach cities and cultural hotspots, direct connectivity from Singapore is a golden ticket to increased arrivals. With Scoot already flying to Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, adding more Vietnamese destinations could supercharge local tourism economies.
Final boarding call
More flights mean more fun, more flexibility, and more reason to get out there. Whether you’re a travel professional designing next season’s packages or a curious traveler planning your next escape, Scoot’s new routes promise more Southeast Asia—delivered directly.
