Singapore Airlines low-cost carrier Scoot has ordered 11 Airbus A320neo family aircraft, consisting of five firm orders and six options converted from a 2014 agreement. Deliveries will begin in 2028, with all jets powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM geared turbofan engines.
The aircraft will operate in a single-class configuration, seating 186 passengers on A320neos and 236 on A321neos. This addition brings Scoot’s total A320neo family orderbook to 20 aircraft.
Scoot operates a fleet of 63 aircraft, including 24 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, 30 A320 family jets and nine Embraer E190-E2 regional jets. The new planes will support operations on routes within a five- to six-hour radius from Singapore, replacing six aging A320ceos averaging 13.5 years old by 2028. The airline has already phased out eight other A320ceos this financial year.
Scoot currently flies 12 A320neos alongside three A321neos, with the remainder of its orders comprising 18 direct A320neos and six A321neos according to Airbus records. Some aircraft in service are leased.
