Scoot is officially a member of the IATA, after the low-cost
subsidiary of Singapore Airlines Group successfully passed the global
aviation association's Operational Safety Audit to be eligible for IATA
membership.
The IATA membership is only open to airlines operating scheduled and non-scheduled air services.
As a fully-fledged IATA member, Scoot will now be able to drive
priorities within the aviation industry and attend the organisation's
member conferences that bring together representatives from leading
international airlines.
Being an IATA member also gives Scoot access to IATA training in key
areas such as aviation safety and security, operational efficiency and
excellence, and sustainability, as well as programmes that help
strengthen the capabilities of aviation professionals.
“This international recognition affirms our dedication to upholding
safety for our passengers. Through the decade, we have continued to
enhance our operational resilience and improve our customers’
experience," said Leslie Thng, CEO of Scoot. "Looking ahead, we hope to
continue to pave the way in redefining and elevating value-travel in our
industry.”
The airline, which recently marked its 10th year of operation, has
been rapidly scaling back its international network as Asia continues to
ease travel restrictions.
