Scoot is now the official member of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) after successfully passing IATA's Operational Safety Audit (IOSA). The audit is an essential eligibility criterion for IATA membership as it sets the international standard for safety in airline operations.
As an IATA member, Scoot will now be able to attend IATA’s member conferences that bring together representatives from leading international airlines to set priorities within the aviation industry. Scoot will also have access to IATA’s training modules in fields such as aviation safety and security, operational efficiency and excellence, and sustainability.
Excited at the announcement, Leslie Thng, Scoot's Chief Executive Officer, said: “We are honoured 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.”
Welcoming Scoot to IATA, Philip Goh, IATA's Regional Vice President for Asia-Pacific said: “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.”
Scoot made a strong post-pandemic recovery with 729,400 passengers across its network in October 2022, almost 8% more than in September 2022.
