NokScoot (Bangkok Don Mueang) has taken delivery of its first aircraft, a B777-200(ER), sourced from equity partner Scoot (TR, Singapore Changi). HS-XBA (msn 28521) arrived in Bangkok Don Mueang on Sunday, November 23, following a ferry flight from Singapore Changi where it had undergone a repaint into the start-up's distinctive livery - a hybrid between that of Scoot and Thai parent, Nok Air (DD, Bangkok Don Mueang).
The longhaul LCC secured its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the Thai Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) on October 30 and plans to launch commercial operations, likely to Tokyo Narita, before year-end.
