A rocky maiden flight for Scoot
Updated 09:19 AM Jun 05, 2012
SINGAPORE - Scoot, the new local budget carrier which is a subsidiary of Singapore Airlines, suffered a slight hiccup on its inaugural flight to Sydney last night when it was delayed for almost two hours before take-off.
The "technical fault" saw the Boeing 777-200 aircraft making a U-turn on the runway and returning to the boarding bay at about 12.20am, 40 minutes after it had pulled away from Terminal 2 at Changi Airport. (SQ HAS TRANSFERRED THE OLDEST B777 TO SCOOT AIRLINES. IN CONTRAST AIR ASIA’S ALL AIRCRAFT ARE NEW. WHAT BULLSHIT FROM SCOOT. EXPECT MORE BREAKDOWNS FOR SURE AND THEY DONT HAVE ENOUGH BACK UP AIRCRAFT . ONLY 4 AIRCRAFT IN THE FLEET!!)
TODAY deputy features editor Christopher Toh, on board the flight, said the passengers reacted calmly to the delay, with Scoot's flight attendants serving milk and Oreo cookies to the 400 travellers on board, many of whom were members of the media. (WHAT KIND OF MEDIA SPIN IS THIS / I WOULD BE HOPPING MAD, NOT SITTING CALMLY !!)
Passengers were kept updated at regular intervals on expected wait times via announcements made by the captain.( BIG DEAL. FURTHER IRRITATE THE PAXS)
The plane, originally scheduled for departure at 11.25pm, eventually took off at about 1.05am this morning, but not before the delay had been seized upon by some people on social media - including Mr Tony Fernandes, chief executive of competitor budget airline AirAsia.
"Scoot's inaugural flight only scooted 50 meters before having to return to gate. Gone Tech," said Mr Fernandes on Twitter, using the industry term for a technical fault.
The plane landed at Sydney's Kingsford Smith Airport this morning at 10.20am in Sydney (8.20am, Singapore time).
