Scoot scoots to its first European destination as it unveils flights to Greek capital

It marks the longest flight by a low-cost carrier.

The budget airline will soon be flying to the European continent as it announces flights on its 787 Dreamliner to Athens starting 20 June 2017.

According to a press release by Scoot, its first European destination marks the longest flight operated by a low-cost carrier with flight distance exceeding 10,000km.

The report added that the first European flights signal the Singapore Airlines Group’s strategic move to stimulate passenger traffic between Asia Pacific and Europe, as well as to boost connectivity through the Singapore hub.

“To commemorate its foray into Europe, Scoot is offering attractive one-way Economy FLY fares to and from Athens starting from $288, inclusive of taxes; $888 for ScootBiz,” the report noted.
