Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore
Airlines, has attained full International Air Transport
Association (IATA) membership.
Only open to airlines
operating scheduled and non-scheduled air services, the IATA
membership also requires airlines meet, maintain and comply with IATA’s
Operational Safety Audit (IOSA) programme, an internationally recognised
and accepted evaluation system designed to assess the operational
management and control systems of an airline.
Leslie Thng, Scoot’s Chief Executive Officer,
said, “We are honoured to become an IATA member. This international
recognition affirms our dedication to upholding safety for our
passengers. Through the decade, we have continued to enhance our
operational resilience and improve our customers’ experience.
Looking ahead, we hope to continue to pave the way in redefining
and elevating value-travel in our industry.”
As part of the IATA membership, Scoot will have
the opportunity to help drive priorities within the aviation
industry and participate in member conferences that bring together
representatives from leading international airlines, media and
associated industry partners.
Being a
member also gives Scoot access to IATA training in fields
such as aviation safety and security, operational efficiency and
excellence, sustainability, as well as programmes that help
strengthen the capabilities of aviation industry professionals.
“We are delighted to welcome Scoot as an IATA
member. Having Scoot, a low-cost carrier, as a member will further
enhance the diversity of views we have in the association. We look
forward to working with the Scoot team towards the sustainable
growth of the industry as it recovers from the impact of COVID19,”
said Philip Goh, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Asia Pacific.
