Singapore-based low-cost carrier Scoot has obtained full International Air Transport Association (IATA) membership, joining more than 300 airlines across 120 countries and signalling its global operational safety record.
Only airlines that meet IATA’s Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) standards for safety in airline operations are eligible for association membership.
The IATA membership is only open to airlines operating scheduled and non-scheduled air services.
As part of the IATA membership, Scoot can help drive priorities within the aviation industry and participate in member conferences with representatives from leading international airlines.
The Singapore Airlines Group subsidiary will also have access to IATA training in aviation safety and security, operational efficiency and excellence and sustainability. CEO Leslie Thng said Scoot was honoured to become an IATA member.
“This international recognition affirms our dedication to upholding safety for our passengers. Through the decade, we have continued to enhance our operational resilience and improve our customers’ experience,” Mr Thng said.
“Looking ahead, we hope to continue to pave the way in redefining and elevating value travel in our industry.”
IATA’s Regional Vice President for Asia Pacific Philip Goh said the association was delighted to welcome Scoot as an IATA member.
“Having Scoot, a low-cost carrier, as a member will further enhance the diversity of views we have in the association,” Mr Goh said.
“We look forward to working with the Scoot team towards the sustainable growth of the industry as it recovers from the impact of COVID-19.”
