Scoot Attains International Air Transport Association (IATA) Membership

  • Joins Community of 300 IATA Members Across 120 Countries

  • Accreditation that Scoot meets the highest standards for airline safety

  • Greater opportunities to drive industry priorities and key initiatives

Singapore – Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines Group, has attained full International Air

Transport Association (IATA) membership. Only airlines that meet IATA’s Operational Safety Audit (IOSA)

standards for safety in airline operations are eligible for IATA’s membership.

Mr. Leslie Thng, Scoot’s Chief Executive Officer, said “We are honored 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.”

”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 COVID-19,” said Philip

Goh, IATA’s Regional Vice President for Asia Pacific.

The IATA membership is only open to airlines operating scheduled and non-scheduled air services. Maintaining

an IOSA registration, and complying with the IOSA program, an internationally recognised and accepted

evaluation system designed to assess the operational management and control systems of an airline, is a

condition of IATA membership.

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. Being a member also gives Scoot access to IATA training in major 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.
