Scoot, the low-fare arm of Singapore Airlines, has taken delivery of its first A320neo in Toulouse, France.

The airline has placed orders for 39 A320neo aircraft under its fleet renewal programme.

The new aircraft, powered by Pratt and Whitney Pure Power engines, features 186 seats in Scoot’s configuration and will be deployed on its services across Asia.

The new addition, selected for its operational efficiency, comfort and range, will join the airline’s existing fleet of 27 A320ceo Family aircraft.

With more than 6,100 orders received from over 100 customers, Airbus says the A320neo Family has captured nearly 60% share of the market.
