Scoot! SQ's LCC gets a name

[SQflyergirl]

I'd have thought the budget terminal, but that one's got a 36m max span taxiway restriction.

Perhaps this terminal?

In those days I'd probably have to wear a dress and a hat. Least I could smoke though

My money is on T2. T1 already seems "budget" enough.

[SilverChris]

Oh my 10 abreast is awwwwful... reminds me of all EK's 777 aircrafts in economy. Yikes!

well we can't say that was unexpected for an LCC. Air Asia X has 9 abreast on their 333s.

Did ladies in hats and dresses smoke in public ?

I love how they've predicted the 5-year fleet plan so accurately. The cynic in me says that this is not Scoot's fleet plan, but SQ's profitability plan for the next 5 years. As soon as SQ's 772s are fully depreciated at the end of 12 years, they will sell them on to Scoot, in the process booking a tidy little profit for SQ.

They did on planes i think

How did their hats make it into the cabins, not to mention those long cigarette holders?

It's actually 15 years to 10%. Even more profit now

booking a tidy little profit for SQ.

Profit? Isn't Scoot going to be a SQ subsidary?

[RHG]

i'm sure there's some benefits and there's much speculation.

i'm intrigued that SQ wants to transfer their 777-2. If it indicates difficulty of selling them to either that infamous leasing company they use or other airlines, i like to know the reason.
