Scoot has become the first airline in the world to operate a fleet entirely consisting of Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft.
The Singapore-based low-cost carrier took delivery of its seventh B787 this week, which coincided with the retirement of its last remaining B777-200.
“Since deploying our first Dreamliner in February of this year, Scoot has transitioned to an all-787 fleet in record time – just seven months,” said Scoot’s CEO, Campbell Wilson.
“Scoot’s 787 has allowed us to set a new standard in budget travel, with great new offerings such as Wi-Fi internet connectivity, streaming entertainment and in-seat power throughout the aircraft, complementing the many choices already enjoyed by our guests. Aside from its great cabin ambiance and improved passenger comfort, the 787’s fantastic operating economics allow us to offer even better value airfares.”
Scoot’s fleet now comprises seven Dreamliners, including 335-seat B787-8s and 375-seat B787-9s. All aircraft offer two-class seating layouts. And the airline still has outstanding orders for a further 13 Dreamliners.
