VIENNA – Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), marked a significant milestone with the commencement of its inaugural direct flight between Singapore and Vienna in Austria.
As the only airline offering direct flights between Vienna and Singapore, Scoot will operate three times weekly services with its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners between Vienna International Airport and Changi International Airport.
To commemorate the special occasion, Scoot and Austria Tourism treated customers on board TR710 with exclusive Austria-themed souvenirs, including artisanal chocolates and paper hand fans inspired by the city’s rich heritage. Scoot also engaged local Singaporean musicians, the T’ang Quartet, to organise a unique in-flight music performance, serenading customers on both the inaugural TR710 and TR711 flights with live classical tunes.
Travellers from Malaysia can now connect to Vienna seamlessly via Singapore, making Europe even more accessible to Malaysian holidaymakers seeking more affordable travel options beyond traditional gateways. One-way ticket fares from Kuala Lumpur to Vienna start from RM 961.24.
Mr Ng Chee Keong, Chief Operating Officer, Scoot, said, “We are excited to launch our inaugural flight to Vienna today and be part of this momentous occasion with our partners who have made this possible. Vienna makes an exciting gateway for travellers from the Asia-Pacific to explore Europe’s rich history and heritage. For European residents, this new route also provides more options for customers to experience the vibrant sights of Singapore and other cities in Southeast Asia. We hope that this new connection helps to bridge cultures and inspire more customers to explore new destinations and create memorable travel experiences.”
Mr. Julian Jager, Joint Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Vienna Airport, said, “We are delighted to welcome Scoot to Vienna. This new route between Vienna and Singapore not only enhances our airport’s connectivity to Asia, but also allows travellers from both regions greater accessibility and cultural exchanges. We look forward to a successful partnership with Scoot, contributing to the growth in Austria and the Asia-Pacific’s travel and tourism industries.”
With the addition of Vienna as its latest destination, Scoot now flies to 73 destinations across 18 countries and territories in the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.
