SIA: its medium-haul, low-cost airline Scoot has chosen Tianjin in China as its 3rd destination. Scoot also took the opportunity to unveil its Chinese name pronounced ku-hang, meaning 'cool'.
Tianjin is a city of 12m in northern China. Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson said that Tianjin - a 30-min high-speed bullet train ride away from the capital - had huge potential, and offers connections to > 100 cities.
This comes after Scoot recently unveiled Sydney and Gold Coast as the destinations of its first two routes, starting in the middle of the year. The airline said it said 'sold tens of thousands of seats' for its Sydney and Gold Coast services over the past week, after an aggressive ticket sales campaign.
The airline, which has recently received its 1st B777-200 and will get 3 more this year, plans to sew up 5 routes by the end of the year.
