Scoot unveils inflight entertainment system ScooTV

It is Asia's first.

According to a release, Scoot announced the launch of ScooTV, Asia’s first inflight entertainment system that allows passengers to stream content to their own Wi-Fi devices.

Juiced by Gogo, a leading provider of in-flight connectivity and wireless in-flight digital entertainment solutions, ScooTV features a buffet of blockbuster movies and popular TV shows that guests can stream to their own laptop or tablet at their own convenience during the flight.

Said Campbell Wilson, CEO of Scoot, “Scoot is excited to be the first airline in Asia to offer this innovative inflight entertainment option. Going wireless keeps our aircraft lighter, our costs down and our fares cheaper. And better yet, ScooTV empowers our guests with even more entertainment options.”

Refreshed every second month, ScooTV currently features Academy Award winner Natalie Portman’s stunning performance in Black Swan, Jackie Chan’s life-risking stunts in Shinjuku Incident, to a range of TV favourites. Guests in the Economy cabin will be able to catch all these and more for just S$15 (pre-purchase) or S$16 (onboard purchase) per flight, while ScootBiz guests can do so for free. For those without their own device, Scoot’s Rent-a-Tablet service will still be available at S$20 (pre-purchase) or S$22 (onboard purchase).

“While feasting your eyes on our exciting ScooTV programmes, satisfy your stomach with one of Scoot’s new ‘Premium Selections’. For just S$6.99 more than our regular combo meals, you can choose from a selection of local favourites such as Beef Sukiyaki on our Tokyo to Taipei flight or Beef Bourguignon Pie from Gold Coast to Singapore,” recommended Campbell.

Scoot’s Premium Selections use the freshest ingredients, are tailored for each route, and come with a drink and two sides such chocolate cake, apple crumble, fresh fruits or salad.

Premium Selection meals may only be booked online, either at the time of purchasing the air ticket or subsequently via the Manage My Booking function. For more information on ScooTV via Streaming and Premium Selection Meals, please visit www.flyscoot.com.
