Singapore-based low-cost carrier Scoot expects to soon receive regulatory approval for a closer partnership with Tigerair, and for a joint-venture airline it is setting up in Thailand with Nok Air. Thai authorities are close to giving the green light for the NokScoot long-haul LCC joint venture, says Scoot CEO Campbell Wilson at the annual CAPA Australia Pacific Aviation Summit in Sydney. The two certificates needed are either in hand or imminent, he says.
