Budget airlines Scoot, a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines operating medium and long-haul flights, is aiming to launch a new route to Honolulu, Hawaii.
Currently pending approval from authorities in the United States, the service, which will have a stop in Osaka, Japan, could be introduced by the end of the year, reported Straits Times.
This comes on the back of the Kuala Lumpur-Osaka-Honolulu service that its Malaysian competitor AirAsia X is launching by end June.
If the new route is approved, this will be the first US link for Scoot, which currently flies within the Asia Pacific, Australia and India, and in June, to Athens, Greece.
