After successfully completing its flight trials earlier this week, low-cost carrier Scoot is all set for its move to Singapore Changi Airport’s Terminal 1 (T1) on 22 October 2019.
The move was announced in a joint press release with Changi Airport Group on 18 July 2019, as the airline seeks to facilitate its projected double-digit annual growth for the next three years.
Since August 2019, the airline has commenced various operational and systems trials to ensure that all systems are go ahead of its scheduled move. These culminated in two flight trials on 17 September and 2 October, respectively.
According to the airline, a total of 522 customers, including 5 infants, were involved in the flight trials, and over 250 pieces of baggage, weighing over 3,660 kilograms, were processed.
“For almost two years, we have worked hard towards a seamless move of our operations to T1. Passengers for both trial flights were checked in and boarded on time; in addition, baggage and other flight handling essentials, such as catering and amenities, were uplifted with no issues. Our customers on these trial flights have also shared that the automated check-in kiosks and bag-drop machines at the new central zone are user-friendly,” said Mr Ng Chee Keong, Scoot’s Chief Operations Officer.
“We will continue to work closely with Changi Airport Group and our service partners to ensure a smooth transition, with extra staff presence planned at both T2 and T1. With that, we are looking forward to welcoming over 10,000 customers at our new home on 22 October 2019,” he added.
Since July 2019, Scoot has been updating customers of the move on its website and social media channels, via email, and on the Scoot mobile app. At the airport, informational standees have been placed at the T1 and T2 departure and arrival levels. On-board announcements for flights into Singapore have also been updated as of 1 October, to inform customers of the upcoming move.
The last Scoot flight from T2 will be TR156 from Singapore to Shenyang, departing 2.55am local time on 22 October. The first Scoot flight from T1 will be TR100 from Singapore to Guangzhou, departing 5.15am local time on 22 October.
The last Scoot flight arriving into T2 will be TR431 from Kuching to Singapore on 21 October, with scheduled arrival at 11.55pm local time. The first Scoot flight arriving into T1 is TR895 from Kaohsiung to Singapore on 22 October, with scheduled arrival at 12.05am local time.

选举局在宪报发布 七集选区投票区范围获修订

选举局今日(12日)在政府宪报上发布,援引《国会选举法》对七个集选区下的投票区范围(Polling District)作出修订。 根据今日下午5时发布于宪报的通知,选举局对七个集选区作出修订:宏茂桥、蔡厝港、义顺、碧山-大巴窑、白沙-榜鹅、三巴旺以及淡滨尼。 选举注册官可依据选举法第9(2)节条文,更动各选区投票区范围,确保各投票区和投票站客服务的选民不会过多或太少,每个投票区平均分配约2千500至3千500位选民。 例如宏茂桥从原有62个投票区增至64;蔡厝港从43增至45个。白沙-榜鹅集选区拥有最多投票区,从78增至81个。 不过,上述宣布并不意味着选区范围更动,或意味着即将选举,实则当局在去年2月也曾对投票区范围进行修订。 我国来届选举最迟必须在明年4月前举行。选区范围检讨委员会是在去年8月成立,,然而时隔近7个月,都还未有委会发布选区划分报告的消息。 昨日(11日),副总理兼财政部长王瑞杰出席圆桌论坛和电台访谈,其中针对何时会举行大选,他并未正面回答,不过坦言当前政府专注于稳定经济和抗疫,疫情状况也会影响当局宣布举行大选的时机。 至于若疫情持续会否采取不同的选举措施以保障群众健康,王瑞杰称政府也会探讨各种可能性。

人们纷纷响应捐血号召 15至17日获1900份“全血”

负责新加坡血库的新加坡卫生科学局指出,当局在上周末(2月15日)至周一所获的捐血量,比平常周末至周一的捐血量多出70巴仙,达到1900份“全血”。 所谓的“全血”,即是指还未分成血小板等各个部分的完整性血液,是最常见的捐血方式。 当局表示,有关的捐血量足以支持六天以上的国家血液储量,但还是仍然不足够的。血库需要保持至少六天的储血量,以备每日的输血需求及应对紧急出血情况。 据《今日报》报导指出,上周五曾经报导有关血库中某些血型的储血量,受到武汉冠状病毒(Covid-19)爆发的影响,而暴跌至临界低水平。 闻讯后的国人在周末纷纷前往新加坡的四个血库,排队等候献血,就连不少政府高官,如文化、社区及青年布部长傅海燕也参与捐血行列。 血库储血量仍然不足 虽然民众反应热烈,血库储血量仍然不足。 卫生科学局指出,在接下来的二至四周内,当局还需要1500个O血型捐血者,750个A血型捐血者,以及750个B血型捐血者,才能让血库储存量恢复到正常水平。 “由于血液的保质期只有六周,因此需要定期定量的捐血者,才能确保我们拥有足以满足患者的储血量。” “我们欢迎捐血者在任何时候预约捐血。” 新加坡红十字会网站也公布了血库存量中,各血水平型的出血量都处于“关键”,即O、A和B血型的储血量处于“低”水平,而AB血型处于健康水平。 当储血量处于临界最低水平时,就迫切需要捐助者,并且必须在同一天进行捐款。而处于低水平的储血量,当局就鼓励捐血者在一周内进行捐助。…
