Scoot announced the introduction of 16 brand-new A321neo aircraft into its fleet. The first aircraft, named “Wings of Change”, will be delivered in the last quarter of 2020 and will be used on routes within six hours (medium-haul markets).
The new fleet will enable Scoot to meet its double-digit growth plan by the end of financial year 2020/2021.
The A321neos, powered by Pratt & Whitney engines, will be delivered from Airbus’ final assembly line. The single-aisle aircraft will be fitted with 236 seats, 50 more than that of the A320neo.
With the A321neo’s enhanced sharklets, fuel-efficient engines and latest cabin innovations in the widest single-aisle cabin in the sky, there is an expected fuel cost savings of 12%[1] as compared to the A320neos and 20%[2] as compared to the A320ceos. On the environmental front, there is an expected 50%[3] reduction in noise footprint and nitrogen oxide emissions as well as a reduction of 5,000[4] tonnes less carbon dioxide per year per aircraft.
