Scoot Pte Ltd, operating as Scoot, is a low-cost airline based in Singapore and a subsidiary of the country's flag carrier Singapore Airlines. It began its operations on 4 June 2012 on medium and long-haul routes from Singapore, predominantly to various airports throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Scoot's airline slogan is Escape the Ordinary.
The airline is part of the KrisFlyer frequent-flyer program. Previously, it was a member of the Value Alliance. Its head office is at Changi Airport, and its focus city is the Taoyuan International Airport in Taiwan.
Tigerair, another low-cost Singaporean airline, was merged into Scoot in 2017, where its operations were absorbed into Scoot with the use of Tigerair's air operator's certificate (AOC). With the change of AOC following the merger, Scoot's IATA code was changed to Tigerair's TR from TZ, and its ICAO code was changed to Tigerair's TGW from SCO. The Scoot brand and the Scooter callsign were retained.
Scoot's fleet initially consisted of six Boeing 777-200ER aircraft previously operated by Singapore Airlines. In 2015, Scoot began to transition its long-haul fleet to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. Scoot also uses the Airbus A320, inherited from Tigerair, along with the Airbus A320neo and Airbus A321neo for its short-haul flights.
