Aussie airlines, can you feel the competition heat up? It’s going to be flaming in 2018 on services to Europe when Scoot Airlines launches its second direct flights into the continent.
Following the airline’s successful launch into Athens earlier this year, Scoot has decided to expand in Europe with its first services into Germany.
Taking off during the second-half of next year, the airline will operate four times weekly services between Singapore and Berlin, which Aussies can hop on after Scoot-ing from an Australian city into Singapore.
Flights are subject to regulatory approval, but the low-cost carrier’s Chief Executive, Lee Lik Hsin, feels confident that the new service will take off with as much popularity as the airline’s other international destinations.
“Scoot’s merger with Tigerair Singapore earlier this year has greatly strengthened our position, standing us in good stead to launch and sustain our long-haul operations,” he explained.
“Athens has lived up to our expectations while bookings for Honolulu have been very promising.”
“We are excited to bring our unique Scootitude to Berlin.”

In addition to taking the ‘unique Scootitude’ to Germany on the 787 Dreamliner, the airline is also likely to deliver crazy cheap fares to the destination similar to those $350 flights to Athens earlier this year.
Oh Fräulein Maria, we can hardly wait.
