Singapore – Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), Friday (Aug 12) unveiled its first-ever co-branded partnership with TPC with the launch of sales of flights for Pokémon Air Adventures onboard the aircraft named Pikachu Jet. Commencing 9 September 2022, the Pikachu Jet will operate two scheduled flights per month, with the first two routes set for Tokyo and Seoul, in time for the September and year-end holidays for our customers. Fares for flights from Singapore — Tokyo (Narita) and Singapore – Seoul start from 5333 and SS23l respectively (one way, inclusive of taxes).
In the spirit of celebrating a decade of flights, the partnership with TPC marks another milestone for Scoot as the first ASEAN airline to launch an exclusive livery as part of the Pokémon Air Adventures project. This is also a first for the SIA group while for TPC, the last international co-operated themed flight was some 20 years ago.
The aircraft, named Pikachu Jet, is a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a capacity of 375 seats, comprising 35 seats in ScootPlus and 340 seats in Economy. Flight routes will be reviewed periodically and adjusted based on customer demand. Besides Tokyo and Seoul, the Pikachu Jet will also be rostered on other routes operated by the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner as part of regular airline operations, though these may be susceptible to changes due to operational and maintenance needs. This means that some customers may find themselves travelling on the exclusive themed aircraft even if they had not specifically booked to fly on one of the marketed routes, adding an element of surprise and delight to their Scoot experience.
Scoot Chief Executive Officer, Leslie Thng, said “At Scoot, we are constantly pushing boundaries to bring delight and a dose of Scootitude to our customers. Through this strategic partnership with TPC and hugely popular global franchise, we seek to engage our customers with unique travel experiences, creating unforgettable moments and memories while connecting them with much-loved destinations across our network.”
Following the sales launch, Scoot and TPC will be hosting a joint event to unveil the exclusive aircraft livery and reveal more details about the scheduled flights and
inflight experience. Customers and fans of Pokémon can also look forward to a new range of collectables exclusive to the partnership that can only be purchased during flight bookings on Scoot‘s website and mobile app, and onboard Scoot flights.
