Scoot flies three times a week to Kuantan on Fridays, Mondays and Wednesdays using its Airbus A320 aircraft.
On 2 February 2018, Scoot flight TR470 departs from Singapore to Kuantan at 1.30 pm, arrives in Kuantan at 2.40 pm before leaving Kuantan for Singapore at 3.20 pm and touching down in Singapore at 4.25 pm under flight TR471.
Passengers who only intend to do aircraft spotting at Kuantan for a few hours ought to choose Firefly's daily flight to Kuantan from Singapore with flight FY3572 leaving for Kuantan at 11.30 am and arriving in Kuantan at 12.35 pm.
Kuantan's international airport is very small serving Malaysian flights of Firefly and Malaysia Airlines currently and the 15 Squadron (BAE Hawk) and 19 Squadron (MiG-29) of the Royal Malaysian Air Force.

About Kuantan
Tourist attractions of Kuantan include waterfalls such as Sungai Pandan Waterfall, Jerangkang Waterfall, shopping malls, Esplanade Park, Bukit Gambang Resort City and the largest safari park in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the Bukit Gambang Safari Park. Kuantan is the administrative centre of the State of Pahang. It is an alternative starting point for onward travel to the Genting Highlands, and 26 km northwest of Kuantan, Sungai Lembing, where the largest tin museum in the world is located, in Pahang.
Kuantan has rich ancient city heritage but little of such heritage is known to tourists. It is an important settlement of the ancient Mon-Khmer kingdom of Chi Tu, which was built by settlers from the Funan empire of ancient Cambodia before 607 until the 11th century AD according to ancient Chinese historical records. In Malay, Chi Tu is known as Tanah Merah (meaning red earth land) and Raktamrttika in Sanskrit. A smaller ancient kingdom of Pheng Kheng took over Chi Tu before it was colonized by the Siamese in the 12th century. From the 15th century onwards, Kuantan was a part of the Malacca Empire until Malaysia gains independence.
