Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, has unveiled a new virtual interline platform in collaboration with Dohop, a travel solutions technology company. This platform, launched on 2 September, enables customers to book self-connect itineraries, combining flights operated by Scoot and partner airlines, directly from Scoot’s website.
Through partnerships with easyJet and Citilink, the platform expands Scoot’s reach to over 30 new destinations across Europe and Indonesia. Travellers can now book flights from Singapore to cities such as Milan, Paris, and Geneva, as well as Indonesian locations like Kendari, Solo, and Ambon. Calvin Chan, Scoot’s Chief Commercial Officer, stated, “This launch represents an exciting step forward for Scoot as we continue to enhance the travel experience for our customers.”
The new platform is designed to complement traditional interline and codeshare agreements, offering flexible partnerships. Sarah Hanan, Chief Commercial Officer at Dohop, expressed enthusiasm for the collaboration, highlighting the trend towards flexible, passenger-centric connectivity in the airline industry.
In addition to the expanded destination options, the platform offers ConnectSure protection, ensuring passengers are covered in the event of flight delays or cancellations. This initiative marks a significant enhancement in Scoot’s service offerings, promising greater travel opportunities and peace of mind for its customers.
