Scoot's initial fleet was acquired from its parent carrier (SIA) and reconfigured with a new coloured seating layout and modified jet engines.

Scoot Airlines Singapore is still in the initial stage of expansion. Their destination routes are growing rapidly and this carrier could be the next best thing since sliced bread. It's a breath of fresh air. The Airline indusrty is a tough gig, expecially setting up a low cost brand will have to work vigoursly to keep on top of the pile as competition is fearce in Asia.

Scoot Airlines will be using wide bodied, double aisle aircraft to ply medium and long-haul routes within one year. The new carrier is expected to compete directly with AirAsiaX flights, the long haul affiliate of Malaysian low budget airline AirAsia and British tycoon Richard Branson's Virgin Group. AirAsiaX travels to several destinations including London, Taipei, Tianjin, Tehran, Paris, Seoul, Tokyo, Jakarta, Berlin, Bangkok, Phuket and a number of cities in China and India.

Another entrant into the LCC in Asia is Malindo Airlines by Lion Air which is set to enter into the market in March of 2013. With so many LCC's in Asia it's only good news for travellers, as price wars can benefit consumers. The question is, who will last, who will have market share and which LCC will go belly up.
