Travellers from Singapore who want to enjoy Indonesia's vibrant culture and nature will soon have more options in getting there. Scoot, the low-cost subsidiary of Singapore Airlines (SIA), announced on Wednesday (Oct 15) that it will progressively launch new flight services to Labuan Bajo, Medan, Palembang and Semarang between December this year and February 2026.
Famed for its beaches, coral reefs and marine life, Labuan Bajo has panoramic views of surrounding islands such as Padar Island. You can also access cultural sites like the Wae Rebo Village, which sits atop a mountain, and Komodo National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage site that's home to the Komodo dragon.
From Dec 21, Scoot will begin twice-weekly flights to Labuan Bajo on the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, with one-way economy class fares starting from S$170.
Those who enjoy shopping while being close to nature will enjoy Medan, a metropolis that's home to cultural landmarks like Maimun Palace, the Grand Mosque and the Tjong A Fie Mansion. Beyond the city lies Lake Toba, the world’s largest volcanic lake, which is surrounded by lush hills and traditional Batak villages.
From Feb 1, 2026, Scoot will begin daily flights to Medan on the Airbus A320 family aircraft, with one-way economy class fares starting from S$108.
Known for its lively traditional markets and unique culinary offerings, Palembang is one of Indonesia’s oldest cities. From Jan 15, 2026, Scoot will begin four times weekly flights to Palembang on the Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, with one-way economy class fares starting from S$129.
Semarang, on the other hand, is abundant in cultural heritage and Dutch colonial architecture, with famous landmarks such as the Lawang Sewu building, which is now used as a museum and gallery, and the Great Mosque of Central Java. Scoot will begin three times weekly flights to Semarang on the Airbus A320 family aircraft from Dec 23 this year, increasing to four times weekly from Jan 1, 2026. One-way economy class fares to Semarang will start from S$125.
Flights to the above-mentioned locations are now available for booking via Scoot's website.
In addition to these new flights, Scoot will progressively increase flight frequencies to 11 existing destinations from this month: Bangkok, Bali, Jakarta, Koh Samui, Kota Kinabalu, Kuching, Manado, Penang, Surabaya, Vientiane and Yogyakarta.
