Scoot Not Keen on Singapore’s Terminal 4 ‘Folly,’ CEO Says

Singapore Airlines Ltd.’s budget carrier Scoot doesn’t want to use the city’s new terminal because it lacks connections to the rest of the airport and sufficient berths for large jets, the unit’s chief executive officer said.
Changi airport’s S$1.28 billion ($1 billion) Terminal Four, which is being designed to handle 16 million passengers a year when it opens in 2017, has only four bays for widebody aircraft and will lack a light-rail connection to the other terminals, Scoot Airways Pte CEO Campbell Wilson said at a conference in Sydney today. Scoot currently uses Boeing Co. 777 widebody aircraft and will get its Dreamliners from November.
