Scoot flights from Macau to Singapore are continuing on as scheduled despite the travel ban imposed by Macau authorities to deter the spread of Covid-19 variants.
As seen by the Times, the Macau to Singapore route remains available on Scoot’s online platform, which flies three times a week every Monday, Wednesday, and Sunday.
In an updated flight schedule, the low-cost carrier lists its TR904 flight from Singapore to Macau as only available on January 26, 29 and 31. However, fares for these listed dates were unavailable on its website, as of last night. On January 5, Macau announced a two-week ban on flights from regions outside mainland China from January 9 to January 23. This was the same day that Hong Kong authorities announced a two-week ban on flights from the United States and seven other countries.
The Singapore route is the only international flight Macau is permitting aside from those from the Greater China region. A significant number of residents have used this route to fly to Europe following Taiwan’s ban of international arrivals early last year. During that time, Taiwan suspended all transit flights through its airports as well. The decision was made following the discovery of the first imported case of the Delta variant. LV
