Exclusive by James Wilkinson

Singapore Airlines’ low-cost carrier Scoot is attracting more groups and business travellers on its flights as corporate wallets continue to be tightened.

Speaking exclusively to SPICENEWS and sister magazine HM on camera, Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson said the airline was seeing increased demand from business travellers and groups business as the carrier continues to offer lead-in airfares as low as $199 one way from Australia to Singapore.
