Singapore Airlines low-cost carrier Scoot has ordered five Airbus A320neo family aircraft and exercised options for six more, increasing its total orderbook for the series to 20 aircraft.
The narrowbody jets, powered by Pratt & Whitney geared turbofan engines, are scheduled for progressive delivery starting in 2028. Scoot plans to configure them in a single-class layout, with 186 seats on the A320neo variant and 236 seats on the larger A321neo.
These aircraft burn up to 20 percent less fuel than previous models, supporting reductions in carbon emissions as part of the SIA Groups net-zero emissions target by 2050. Scoot intends to phase out its six older A320ceo aircraft by 2028 to maintain a more efficient fleet.
Scoots current fleet totals 63 aircraft, including 24 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, 30 A320 family planes comprising six A320ceos, 12 A320neos and 12 A321neos, and nine Embraer E190-E2 jets. The additions will enable capacity growth and new route development.
