Scoot! SQ's LCC gets a name

[9V-JKL]

SQ can surely learn something from this.....

Can't agree more. Informative, apologetic and steps to compensate.

I saw a Scoot bird at Changi and I have to say they don't look as bad in real life as they do in the pictures.

Just Scooted to BKK on Barry today and it wasn't too bad actually! And the flight was pretty full too!

The age of an aircraft is not synonymous with the safety of it. It's the qualities of the crew operating and maintaining it that makes an aircraft safe.

And an aircraft's maintenance schedule is set out by the manufacturer which all airlines operating it have to abide by. They can do more than what the schedule states, but never less. Regulatory authorities(CAAS) do regular audits to see these are followed.

Lets hope CAAS is better than MOT and LTA and take up their job as a regulatory authority role.

Why must low cost airlines so often be bright, quirky, and exuberant? Is it that enthusiasm offsets low expectations?

Instead of having those giveaways and contests, they should just focus on customer service and punctuality while keeping the ticket prices low. Thats all we need.

Budget airlines need high volumes to stay in the black, so constant promotions are a necessity until their brand name is etched on the minds of anyone who wants to travel cheap.

As I mentioned, multiple authorities would be doing audits on Scoot. Including CAAS, there would be the aviation authorities of the countries Scoot is flying( CASA, DCA) doing regular audits on Scoot. So rest assured, there are many prying eyes trying to spot mistakes to prevent any untoward incidents from happening. From a safety point of view that is !

All those organizations you have pointed out in your "blame" trail actually have one common denominator which might have lead to some complacency over the years.

Not so in international aviation as the auditing authorities of the respective countries do not stand to lose in any way by the grounding of a foreign carrier. This forces foreign carriers to be on top of their game to pass their audits and checks. Just ask Tiger Australia !

Thanks, you pointed out a good example happen with Tiger Australia!

This is what happens when you schedule an inaugural flight during a full moon lunar eclipse!

Scoot to MEL early next year? Next logical choice in Australia? Remember when they choose OOL, they said MEL wasn't considered in the shortlist, maybe it was already chosen or perhaps SQ wanted to go double daily A380 before scoot comes in to MEL.
