Scoot, Singapore’s low-cost carrier, will launch direct flights between Vienna and Singapore in June 2025.
Vienna Airport has announced that the route will operate three times weekly, connecting the Austrian capital to Southeast Asia with modern Boeing B787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.
The new route is expected to strengthen economic and tourism ties between the regions. Passengers will benefit from a nonstop service that eliminates the need for connecting flights and offers convenient onward travel to destinations across Southeast Asia and beyond via Scoot’s extensive network.
Flights will commence on June 3, 2025, with departures from Singapore Changi Airport at 3:00 a.m., arriving in Vienna at 10:10 a.m. The return flight will leave Vienna at 11:25 a.m. and arrive in Singapore at 4:50 a.m. on the following day. These timings ensure seamless connections for both leisure and business travelers.
“Scoot will bring Vienna closer to Southeast Asia. The new direct flight service enables passengers to reach Singapore without having to change to a connecting flight and travel further to numerous destinations via the airline’s flight network. This long sought-after long-haul connection strengthens our position as a flight hub and creates new perspectives for enhancing economic and tourism links between Austria and Southeast Asia. We are pleased to launch our close cooperation with Scoot starting in the summer of 2025”, states Julian Jäger, Joint CEO and COO of Vienna Airport.
“We are thrilled to announce the launch of our services to Vienna Airport, marking a significant milestone in Scoot’s expansion. This new route not only strengthens our commitment to connecting travelers but also creates a direct link between Vienna and Singapore, bringing the vibrant culture and experiences of Southeast Asia closer to Eastern Europe. We look forward to welcoming passengers on board as they embark on new adventures and explore the rich heritage of both regions”, states Calvin Chan, Chief Commercial Officer of Scoot.
“The new ‘Scoot’ flight connects Singapore, one of the economically strongest regions in Asia, directly to Vienna, strengthening our airport as a hub and at the same time assuming an important feeder function for the Southeast Asian region and the Australian continent. Vienna and Singapore are two leading congress metropolises, and Vienna’s attractiveness as a meeting destination will benefit from the direct connection”, explains Norbert Kettner, CEO of the Vienna Tourist Board.
Singapore, known for its blend of modern urbanity, cultural richness, and lush greenery, offers travelers a range of iconic attractions such as Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Chinatown. Beyond its role as a travel destination, the city-state is a financial powerhouse and a major hub for logistics in Asia. Travelers using this route can also explore further destinations in the region, including Indonesia and Australia, via Scoot’s network.
Vienna, on the other hand, is renowned for its historical charm, congress facilities, and role as a gateway to Eastern Europe. The direct connection is expected to boost Vienna’s appeal as a meeting destination for global events.
