Air India on Thursday announced a new unilateral interline partnership with Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), expanding its connectivity across Southeast Asia, North Asia, and Australia via Singapore.
The collaboration enables Air India passengers to seamlessly access most of Scoot’s network — covering over 70 destinations across 18 countries — through convenient transfers at Singapore Changi Airport.
As part of the expanded network access, passengers flying with Air India will now be able to travel to several destinations not previously covered under any of the airline’s partnerships. These include Macau SAR (China), Padang and Labuan Bajo (Indonesia), Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Langkawi, Ipoh, Kuantan, Miri, Sibu, Malacca, and Kota Bharu (Malaysia), Davao and Iloilo City (Philippines), Koh Samui, Chiang Rai, and Chiang Mai (Thailand), and Nha Trang and Phu Quoc (Vietnam).
Passengers will be able to fly non-stop from Delhi, Mumbai or Chennai to Singapore and take onward connections operated by Scoot. To enhance convenience, the airlines have also activated inter-airline through check-in (IATCI), allowing travellers booked on a single ticket to receive boarding passes for both Air India and Scoot flights at the origin airport. Baggage can be checked through to the final destination, subject to local regulations.
Air India operates 49 weekly flights to Singapore
“Asia Pacific remains the world’s fastest-growing region for aviation, with intra-regional air travel demand surging at significant rates,” said Nipun Aggarwal, chief commercial officer, Air India.
“Our new interline partnership with Scoot taps into that momentum, meeting the rising Indian traveller appetite for seamless access to far-flung corners of the continent — from Malaysia’s rainforests to Vietnam’s beaches and Indonesia’s emerging cities,” he added.
Scoot’s Chief Commercial Officer, Calvin Chan, said, “This partnership marks an important step in broadening travel options for customers in India to discover unique destinations across Scoot’s extensive network via Singapore. We look forward to welcoming Air India customers onboard and connecting them to new experiences with Scoot.”
Air India currently operates 49 weekly flights to Singapore, including thrice-daily services from Delhi, twice-daily services from Mumbai and twice-daily services from Chennai. The airline also has an existing codeshare agreement with Singapore Airlines, offering seamless connectivity to over 60 destinations worldwide.
The new Air India–Scoot interline itineraries will be progressively rolled out across Air India’s booking channels, including its website, mobile app and travel agents globally.
