Singapore Airlines' new LCC will use B772 aircraft, according to this Reuters article.

Singapore Airlines said its new low-fare carrier, which will operate next year, has selected Boeing 777-200 aircraft for its fleet.

"Aircraft will initially be acquired from Singapore Airlines and reconfigured in a new seating layout," Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest carrier by market value, said in a statement.

I believe the Royal Brunei B777-200s are on lease from Singapore Airlines.

Just noticed this in the Wall Street Journal. SQ's new LCC to be called "Scoot" and use 772s to Australian and Chinese destinations from SIN.

The question is: which ports in Australia will they fly too first? My guesses are OOL (new), AVV (new), ADL (keep daily SQ, add 2-3 weekly), PER (substitute some SQ).

Singapore Airlines to Launch Budget Carrier Mid-2012

By GAURAV RAGHUVANSHI And P.R. VENKAT

SINGAPORE—Singapore Airlines Ltd. said its new low-cost airline will start operations in mid-2012 with a fleet of four Boeing 777-200 planes flying to Australia and China, in a move aimed at tapping the growing demand for discounted travel rates in the region.

The new airline, called Scoot, will operate medium-to-long haul services, and price its fares at a 40% discount to those offered by legacy carriers, the airline said Tuesday.

Budget airlines such as Singapore's Tiger Airways Holdings Ltd., Australia's Jetstar Airways and Malaysia's AirAsia Bhd. have been eating into the market share of many full-service airlines due to their cheaper fares.

"Adhering to the low-frills spirit that has proven so popular in short-haul arenas in Asia and around the world, Scoot will offer great value airfare," a Singapore Airlines statement said.

The low-cost airline will add more destinations as its fleet expands and plans to eventually cover India, Europe and other markets such as Africa and the Middle East.

I don't mind that livery actually. It's quite fresh an vibrant. Among similar regional LCCs, I prefer it over Air Asia X's or Jetstar's liveries.

I can see it now: "Scoot to Singapore for only $499".

Horrible name and disgusting livery, I could've done that livery myself in Paint. (IMHO of course!)
Bit of a disappointment for me from a quality carrier like SQ.

Regardless, I wish them the best of luck.

BNE for sure not OOL.(My Opinion)

PER,ADL and BNE have just been given extra flights over the Dec-Jan period and i believe this is in anticipation of Scoot coming onboard.These flights are also 777 flights.

Also with BI pulling both BNE and PER this has left a gaping hole in the low cost market to Asia and eventually Europe from both cities.

Melbourne has also been penciled in for this LCC service.
