Low-cost carrier Scoot to focus on South-east Asia, India for more thrust as rivalry causes yields to thin 

[SINGAPORE] SIA Group’s low-cost carrier (LCC) Scoot will focus on driving traffic and revenue in “high-potential” areas of South-east Asia and India, with Embraer jets helping it to mitigate delays in Airbus and Boeing deliveries.

The airline aims to maintain its strong performance in passenger numbers over the past two years by expanding and optimising routes, in the face of falling yields caused by competitors adding capacity, Scoot chief executive Leslie Thng said in an interview with Singapore media.

Scoot will also have to manage persistent supply chain issues that have handicapped fleet growth and capacity.
