These include new destinations Koh Samui and Sibu and existing destinations Hat Yai, Kuantan, Krabi, and Miri in Malaysia and Thailand. Scoot’s new E190-E2 services are expected to begin in May 2024, after the first of nine aircraft is delivered in April from Embraer’s manufacturing facility in São José dos Campos, Brazil.
