Scoot to become world's first 'all Boeing 787' airline

Singapore Airlines' low-cost offshoot Scoot is set for a flood of Boeing 787s next year, taking delivery of as many as one per month from February to June 2015 in order to become the world's first 'all Dreamliner' airline.
The airline will receive its first Boeing 787-9 in November this year, parent group SIA confirmed in its Financial Year 2013-14 report released overnight.

 Scoot says the first destinations for its Boeing 787-9s, which is expected to make its inaugural flight in December, will "include Australia, Japan and Taiwan".

 A second 787-9 will also arrive before the end of February, SIA says, with one of the airline's Boeing 777-200s being decommissioned in the same timeframe.

Scoot aims to retire all six of its Boeing 777-200s, which were handed down from Singapore Airlines, by the middle of 2015 and shift to an all-Boeing 787 in order to parlay the Dreamliner's increased fuel efficiency into a healthier bottom line.
