Singapore Airlines to launch long-haul budget "Scoot Airlines" in April...

Singapore Airlines (SIA) plans to launch its long-haul budget carrier in April with inflight Internet access among the attractions, a report said Tuesday.

SIA had no immediate comment on the details of the Straits Times story, which said the unit could be called Scoot Airlines.

The newspaper said the airline will start off with just one Boeing 777-200 before increasing its fleet to four aircraft within three months and 14 planes by mid-2016.

The firm is expected to serve destinations in Europe, the United States, Australia and New Zealand, it added.

Citing information from internal documents obtained by the newspaper, the Straits Times said SIA plans to charge passengers for using wi-fi services to access the Internet via laptops, tablet computers and smartphones. Full story...
