Scoot made its inaugural call at Iloilo International Airport, marking the official launch of its direct route between Singapore and Iloilo.

Scoot flew from Singapore’s Changi Airport to Iloilo International Airport on April 14 using an Embraer E190-E2 aircraft carrying 108 passengers. The aircraft departed for Singapore on the same day with 104 passengers, according to the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Area VI. Scoot is the budget airline of Singapore Airlines.

“This new direct connection not only strengthens existing ties but also opens opportunities for tourism, trade, and cultural exchange between Iloilo and Singapore,” according to CAAP Area VI in a social media post.

Scoot Airlines will initially operate the Iloilo-Singapore flights every Monday and Wednesday, and then include Friday and Sunday starting June 2025.

Nestled in the heart of the Philippine archipelago, Iloilo City is a lively haven known for its stunning Spanish-era churches and one of the largest religious feasts in the Philippines, the Dinagyang Festival, Scoot noted. It added that the city offers a perfect mix of cultural charm and hidden gems waiting to be discovered, making it an attractive escapade for a quick recharge.

Scoot chief executive officer Leslie Thng earlier said, “With the launch of direct flights to Iloilo City, we also hope to inspire our customers to explore more cities within South East Asia and embark on new travel experiences.”

Aside from Iloilo, Scoot also operates flights to other Philippine destinations such as Cebu, Clark, Davao, and Manila.
