Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, is hoping to increase its seat capacity to 80% of the level recorded before the Covid-19 pandemic by the end of the year, before adding more flights to match or outpace previous levels in the first half of 2023.
Leslie Thng, chief executive of Scoot, said the carrier's capacity last month showed good signs of recovery as it reached two-thirds of the pre-pandemic level. He said this means it is possible that seat capacity could reach 80% by year-end.
