SINGAPORE — Travellers will soon have another budget option for flights to Osaka in Japan.
Low-cost carrier Scoot announced today (May 21) it will launch a new service to Osaka starting from July 8. This will be its second Japanese destination after Tokyo.
There will be six flights a week on Scoot’s Boeing 787 Dreamliners: Three via Bangkok, Thailand and three via Kaohsiung, Taiwan.
Scoot Chief Executive Campbell Wilson said: “Osaka has long been on our radar, and we’re excited to add it to our network.”
He said: “Besides Osaka’s many attractions, such as Dotonbori food district, its castle, and Universal Studios Japan, it is also the gateway to the stunning historic capital of Kyoto with its many temples and sights. When combined with our existing service to Tokyo, Scoot’s guests can now complete the ‘golden triangle’ of Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka without backtracking.”
Currently, budget airlines Jetstar and AirAsia also fly to Osaka from Singapore.
