Singapore's Scoot orders 11 A320neo family jets

Scoot (TR, Singapore Changi) has firmed up orders for five A320neo family aircraft and exercised options for an additional six from a 2014 agreement with Airbus. The airline said in a press release that the new aircraft will be progressively delivered from 2028.
The carrier did not disclose the variant split between the A320-200N and A321-200NX, but indicated that both variants will be part of the deal.
The 11 incoming narrowbodies will be powered by Pratt & Whitney PW1100G-JM engines. The A320-200Ns will be configured with 186 seats, while the A321-200NX will have 236 seats, both in a single-class layout.
Scoot said the additional aircraft will support capacity growth and route deployment flexibility across a five- to six-hour radius. It also plans to phase out its remaining six A320-200s by 2028 as part of its fleet renewal programme.
The commitment increases the low-cost carrier's total A320neo family orderbook to 20 aircraft. According to ch-aviation data, Scoot has outstanding orders for six A320-200Ns and three A321-200NX.
Chief executive Leslie Thng said: "We expect travel demand to continue growing, particularly in the Asia-Pacific region, in the coming years. The range and capacity of the A320neo family aircraft will enable Scoot to expand and deepen Singapore Airlines Group's network connectivity, providing SIA Group with new growth opportunities and offering customers more seamless travel options."
Scoot currently operates sixty-three aircraft, comprising six A320-200s, twelve A320-200Ns, twelve A321-200NX, thirteen B787-8s, eleven B787-9s, and nine E190-E2s. It serves 85 destinations across 18 countries.

Norse Atlantic Airways (N0, Oslo Gardermoen) has accelerated its Project Falcon restructuring programme, aiming to generate up to USD50 million in cost savings compared to the 2025 baseline. The airline will relocate its head office from Arendal to Oslo, lay off around 75 administrative workers (a third of its administrative staff), and implement furloughs, temporary pay cuts for non-flying personnel, and a more flexible base structure. "Geopolitical tension has affected jet fuel prices and traffic flows, requiring Norse Atlantic to accelerate Project Falcon to strengthen our financial resilience and pave the way towards profitability," CEO Eivind Roald said.

Malta's AirX puts Challenger 604 into service, mulls growth

AirX Charter (AX, Malta International) has entered the super-midsize jet segment following entry into service of a Challenger 604 added in October. The company confirmed to ch-aviation that further units are expected to join within the next six months.
“By building a fleet of Challenger 604 aircraft, the company is not adding capacity in the traditional sense, but positioning unit economics to apply sustained pricing pressure on the super-midsize market,” AirX said in a statement.
The company told ch-aviation that is currently focused on the Challenger 604 and Challenger 850 product, with a minimum of three to four expected to join AirX's fleet within the next six months.
Configured for up to 12 passengers, the 2002-built Challenger 604, 9H-ATGT (msn 5517), entered revenue service in late April after being parked at London Stansted since July, where it underwent preparation for entry into service, including a full cabin refurbishment.
On April 7, the jet was ferried to Lelystad for repainting into AirX livery by Satys (France). On April 22, work was completed, and five days later the aircraft ferried to Lille Lesquin.
AirX founder John Matthews says the addition represents the opening move in what he describes as the company's “dash to 50” aircraft. In September, AirX secured a USD136 million bond, with plans to deploy proceeds toward the addition of more than 30 aircraft over the next three to five years.
The company's fleet currently comprises 20 aircraft, including an A340-300, a B737-700(BBJ), a Challenger 604, eight Challenger 850s, four Legacy 600s, and five Lineage 1000s.
“This is not a mixed fleet by accident. It is engineered. Each aircraft has a role, each role has an economic purpose, and together they allow us to apply pricing pressure across multiple segments rather than operate within a single one,” Matthews added.
