Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, has announced plans to launch direct flights between Singapore and Iloilo City starting April 14, 2025—a significant enhancement in international connectivity for the Western Visayas region.
The new route will initially operate twice weekly using the airline’s 112-seat Embraer E190-E2 aircraft. Frequency will increase to four times weekly from June 2025, with flights scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays.
According to the flight schedule, TR-374 will depart Singapore at 2:00 a.m. and arrive in Iloilo at 5:35 a.m. The return flight, TR-375, will leave Iloilo at 6:10 a.m. and land in Singapore at 9:45 a.m.
Leslie Thng, Chief Executive Officer of Scoot, expressed optimism about the route launch: “With the launch of direct flights to Iloilo City, we also hope to inspire our customers to explore more cities within South East Asia and embark on new travel experiences.”
The Singapore-Iloilo service represents Scoot’s latest expansion in the Philippine market. Iloilo is Scoot’s fifth destination in the country, after Cebu, Clark, Davao, and Manila. This makes Scoot the international carrier with the most number of connections to the Philippines.
One-way Economy Class fares for the new route start from SGD129 (approximately PHP 5,400), inclusive of taxes. Bookings are now available through Scoot’s website, mobile app, and other distribution channels.
Scoot currently operates a fleet of over 50 aircraft, including Boeing 787 Dreamliners, Airbus A320 family aircraft, and Embraer E190-E2s, serving more than 70 destinations across 18 countries and territories in Asia-Pacific, the Middle East, and Europe.
The announcement comes as part of Scoot’s broader network expansion, which also includes the launch of new services to Vienna, Austria, while suspending operations to Berlin and Jinan.
