SilkAir is transferring its routes to Kuching in Malaysia and Palembang in Indonesia to Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, starting 29 October 2017 and 23 November 2017 respectively. Currently, SilkAir flies four times weekly to Kuching and thrice weekly to Palembang.
Scoot’s operation of the two routes will optimise aircraft utilisation within the Singapore Airlines Group, at the same time meeting travel demand for the routes. Scoot targets to commence sales of its Kuching and Palembang services in August and October 2017 respectively, subject to final regulatory approval.
The addition of Kuching and Palembang to the network will bring Scoot’s Airbus A320 route destination count in Malaysia to six, and to four in Indonesia. Scoot's current destinations in Malaysia are Ipoh, Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi, Penang while its new route to Kuantan will come on line by February 2018. Its current Indonesian destinations comprise Denpasar, Jakarta and Surabaya.
Besides the transfer of routes to Scoot and SilkAir's inaugural scheduled flight to its first Japanese destination, Hiroshima, on 30 October 2017, subject to regulatory approval, SilkAir will be increasing frequency on selected services to other destinations, including Cairns, Kathmandu, Yangon and Penang from 29 October 2017 onwards.
