Scoot has announced it will be expanding its Vaccinated Travel Lane (VTL) network to a total of 17 destinations, following the Singapore government’s announcement on the easing of COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The Singapore Airlines owned low-cost carrier will be expanding its VTL network to a total of 17 destinations as Singapore further eases COVID-19 travel restrictions.
The Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore (CAAS) will lift the 50% cap on VTL travellers entering Singapore per day and progressively restore the VTL quota from 5,000 to 15,000 by 4 March 2022.
Customers can look forward to flight routes across five counties and territories, including Athens, Cebu, Hong Kong, Krabi, London (Gatwick) via Bangkok, and Phuket.
Scoot Chief Commercial Officer, Calvin Chan, said: “Scoot is excited to provide more destinations in our network that now offer quarantine-free travel both ways for fully vaccinated customers, at pocket-friendly prices.
“The announcement of the expansion of the VTL scheme is an encouraging step for the travel and aviation industry, allowing us to cater to the pent-up demand for travel over the past two years, be it for work or school, to reconnect with friends and family, or to explore new experiences.
“As we continue to gradually expand our footprint across the world, the health and safety of our customers and crew will remain a priority for us, and we look forward to operating more VTL services soon.”
Scoot says this is a crucial step in rebuilding the international travel industry after the pandemic and is an exciting time for the airline in its global expansion.
The love affair between Scoot and the Gold Coast and the Northern NSW region resumed after the airline returned to Gold Coast Airport on Valentine’s Day last week.
Queensland Airports Limited CEO Chris Mills said it was exciting to finally welcome Scoot and international passengers back to Gold Coast Airport.
“Many Australians have a real passion for international travel as well, and this service will deliver easy, affordable access into Singapore and beyond – prompting many people to take another look at their bucket lists and start making overseas travel plans.”
