Scoot takes delivery of first E190-E2 Aircraft

Scoot, a Singapore Based Low Cost Carrier, received its first of nine Embraer E190-E2
aircraft on Thursday, April 11 at a special handover ceremony in Embraer’s headquarters in
Sao Jose dos Campos, Brazil.

The event was attended by senior executives from Azorra, Scoot and Embraer, celebrating the delivery of the first of nine E190-E2 jets for Scoot, all of which were leased from Azorra, an aircraft leasing company. Nicknamed ‘Explorer 3.0’ this aircraft celebrates the third and latest fleet addition to Scoot’s fleet.

Scoot is also currently operating aircraft from the A320 family and the Boeing 787
family, with the E190 aircraft set to be operating flights on regional routes once deemed
commercially unviable. This delivery of the Embraer 190 family also marks the first time a
Singapore-based carrier is introducing an aircraft from a Brazilian Manufacturer.

Celebrating this milestone for Scoot, Leslie Thng, Chief Executive Officer of Scoot says “We
are honoured to be the first Singapore carrier to take delivery of this modern and fuel-
efficient aircraft and the E190-E2 jets are crucial to our overall network growth strategy.”

Scoot plans to start using the Embraer E190 aircraft on flights from Singapore to Krabi,
before further expanding to other new destinations such as Koh Samui in Thailand and Sibu
in Malaysia. The E190 aircraft will also be used to operate flights to Hat Yai in Thailand,
together with Kuantan and Miri in Malaysia after more aircraft are received. The first E190
flight would be set to take place on May 7, with an inaugural flight to Krabi.

A Sustainable Jet
Touted for its low emissions, the E Jets E2 is the most environmentally friendly single aisle
jet today, with the E-Jets E2 emitting 30% less CO2 on an average 600nm flight, therefore
reducing the CO2 emitted per flight. This is due to its lighter weight compared to other single
aisle aircraft, therefore resulting in a lower amount of fuel burn. Furthermore, the E-Jets E2
family is already certified to operate with up to a 50% blend of Sustainable Aviation Fuel
(SAF) blend, with the E195-E2 jet having conducted a successful test flight with 100% SAF
