    If Scoot took over the Manchester route I will we switch to Cathay Pacific.

    BCN and FCO are prime potential candidates for Handling over to TZ. Both are leisure heavy routes with intense Pricing pressure from the ME3 and light Premium cabin demand. TZ's B789 are an ideal aircraft for these routes with it's Scootbiz & EYCL product. I won't be surprise that TZ would manage a better yield than SQ on these route. In fact the Scoot Biz product has seen respectable loads on regional routes and it would be no surprise that they would be extremely popular with leisure traveller's on such routes

    Absolutely agree with SQ228. As a network carrier, SQ needs to serve enough European cities with its mainline instead of transferring FCO, IST and MAN to Scoot. People in Australia and New Zealand aren't flying to Singapore to transfer to Scoot to Europe.

    Where Scoot could come in is LGW or even STN, and the thinner leisure-focused destinations like BCN or ATH. If fifth freedom rights allow, it'd be cool to have SIN-ATH-BCN.

    There could be enough premium traffic to Vienna to do SIN-VIE-BRU?

    The point of the A350 is to make flights like IST, FCO, BCN, MAN etc. more economical. I can't see most passengers to those destinations suddenly wanting to fly TZ. IST distributes SQ passengers to smaller cities within Europe on TK flights.

    Will SQ codeshare these TZ flights? If not, how would someone book connecting flights between SQ and TZ? BER and VIE might have merit but as someone who flies SQ Y on a frequent basis and visits both of these cities at least annually, I will not be flying Scoot. I would also not be flying to BCN with them.

    ATH may be taken over by TZ in order to go non-seasonal. Honestly I think the big announcement will be something safe and conservative like LGW. Remember the very first route was SYD which SQ subsequently increased its own flights to.

    The article is really long. But basically...

    - Services to Europe due to launch around May 2017.
    - Possible routes: Athens, Barcelona, Madrid or taking over SIA’s services to Istanbul, Rome or Manchester.
    - Announcement of new route will likely be made in November.

    Agreed, though I'm still a young spring chicken. It'd be as bad as traveling UA Y for the SFO-SIN direct.

    Vienna and Berlin could be options too. More accurately, they would be on my wishlist.

    If anyone with access could copy and paste the whole article, or summarise it here, that would be great.
