Scoot will launch flights to Guiyang in China three times weekly starting 26 October with one-way Economy Class fares from Perth to Guiyang starting from AU$270, or AU$300 from Sydney and Melbourne – inclusive of taxes.
Travellers can book the new flights starting today via Scoot’s website and mobile application. The Airbus 320neo aircraft will operate the flights, which strengthens Scoot’s China network and offers travellers an additional getaway option ahead of the year-end holiday season.
Guiyang, which sits in the heart of Guizhou province, is renowned for its rich ethnic minority cultures, captivating landscape of abundant green spaces and mountains, as well as a pleasant climate.
With the launch of services to Guiyang, Scoot will operate 81 weekly flights to 16 cities in mainland China. Scoot’s network will increase to 86 destinations across 18 countries and territories across the Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Europe.
“We are delighted to add Guiyang to our network, strengthening our presence in China and connecting Singapore and the wider Scoot network to one of southwest China’s most scenic and culturally rich cities,” Scoot chief executive officer Leslie Thng said.
“Alongside this new route, we are also increasing flight frequencies to several popular destinations to meet the anticipated increase in travel demand during the year-end period.”
