Travelling to Singapore from Hungary just got a lot easier: Direct flights launch from close to the border

Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), announced the launch of direct flight services from Vienna in Austria to Singapore today, providing travellers accessibility to even more destinations at great value.

The only direct flight between Vienna and Singapore

Three weekly flights from Vienna will begin on 3 June 2025 on the Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, which has the capacity for 329 passengers in two cabin classes, Scoot Economy Class and Scoot Plus. European travellers can look forward to an unforgettable adventure in Singapore, where they can explore a vibrant blend of culture, modern attractions, and culinary delights, as Scoot prepares to launch direct flights to the city-state. Scoot will be the only airline to operate a non-stop service to Singapore, the heart of Southeast Asia and the Gateway to Australia and New Zealand.

Mr Leslie Thng, Chief Executive Officer of Scoot said, “We remain committed to expanding our network and connecting travellers to new destinations around the world at a great value. As the only airline offering direct flights between Singapore and Vienna, we are thrilled to introduce this new service from June, just in time for the holidays. 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.”

Flights to the Philippines also launch

In addition, Scoot will launch flights to Iloilo City in the Philippines, commencing 14 April 2025 and will be operated on the 112-seater Embraer E190-E2 aircraft at an initial frequency of twice weekly, progressively increasing to four times weekly from June 2025.

Flights to Vienna and Iloilo City will be available for booking from today, via Scoot’s website, mobile app, and progressively through other channels. One-way Economy Class fares from Vienna to Singapore start from EUR 170, while one-way ScootPlus fares start from EUR 550 to Singapore, all inclusive of taxes. 

Scoot also closes some flights

With the introduction of the Vienna service, Scoot will adjust its network to better match capacity to demand and optimise aircraft deployment. This includes the suspension of operations to Berlin and Jinan after their last flights on 28 March and 28 February respectively. 

Scoot will be progressively reaching out to affected customers with existing bookings made directly with Scoot, to provide the necessary assistance to rebook or refund, where applicable. For bookings made through travel agents or partner airlines, customers are advised to contact their travel agent or purchasing airline for assistance. Flight schedules are subject to government and regulatory approvals or changes.
