The nine Embraer E190-E2 jets ordered from Azora can seat 112 passengers in a single-class configuration and will be deployed by Scoot on short and medium-haul flights for up to five hours.
Scoot, a Singaporean low-cost airline has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) with aircraft lessor, Azora. According to the newly signed LOI Scoot will receive nine new Embraer E190-E2 aircraft from Azora to support its network growth strategy. The first Embraer E190-E2 aircraft is scheduled for delivery in 2024, with the other eight to be progressively introduced by the end of 2025. Scoot is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Singapore Airlines.
Scoot will be the first airline in Singapore to operate the E190-E2 jet, which is the latest variant of Brazilian aircraft manufacturer Embraer’s trademark line of regional jets. The aircraft has the capacity to seat 112 customers in a single-class configuration, and will be deployed on short- and medium-haul flights for up to five hours. This will effectively complement the larger Airbus A320 family and Boeing 787 aircraft in Scoot’s fleet, serving thinner routes to non-metro destinations out of Singapore.
