Singapore airlines has unveiled a new budget carrier in a bid to cater to growing demand for low-cost flying in the region.
Called 'Scoot', the carrier will begin flights in mid-2012 and cater to medium and long haul routes.
Asia's economic success has seen income levels rise in the region, boosting demand for air travel.
The International Air Transport Association has forecast air travel in Asia-Pacific to grow by 6.4% in 2011.
"Adhering to the low-frills spirit that has proven so popular in short haul arenas in Asia and around the world, Scoot will offer great value airfares up to 40% less than legacy carriers." the airline said in a statement.
