Nok Air og SIA starter NokScoot

[Trdfly]

Nok Air (DD, Bangkok Don Mueang) and Singapore Airlines (SQ, Singapore Changi) management have taken a significant step forward in the formation of their proposed low-cost, long-haul operation, NokScoot (Bangkok Don Mueang). In a statement issued to the Singaporean bourse last week, the carriers announced they had agreed on the final structure of the carrier with both each to hold a 49% stake with the remaining 2% to be held by Pueannammitr Co.

"A Joint Venture Agreement has been signed between Scoot, Nok Mangkang Co., a Special Purpose Vehicle set up by Nok Air (“Nok Mangkang”), and Pueannammitr Co. Ltd, a company formed by the management of Nok Air (“PNM”), to set up the JV Airline by way of acquiring an existing company, Pete Air Co, Ltd. (“JVC”), which is already holding an Air Operator’s Licence."

Subject to regulatory approval, the joint-venture firm will subsequently be renamed NokScoot Airlines Co., Ltd with each party to invest an initial aggregate amount of SGD80million (USD63.98million).

Under the venture's original plans, NokScoot will launch in the second half of this year using "two or three" B777-200(ER)s sourced from Singapore Airlines' LCC subsidiary, Scoot (TZ, Singapore Changi). The aircraft will be repainted into Nok Air's livery but operate under the NokScoot brand name.

Initial services will include East Asia, Japan, South Korea and northern China.

Det kan se slik ut ja...

NokScoot (XW, Bangkok Don Mueang) says it secured its Air Operator’s Certificate (AOC) from the Thai Department of Civil Aviation (DCA) on October 30, 2014. Together with its Air Transport Service License, secured from the Thai Ministry of Transport earlier this year, the start-up will now begin applying for operating permits and slots for its intended international routes. It is believed Tokyo Narita will be among the carrier's maiden destinations.

“We will promptly submit an application to the Japanese Civil Aviation Bureau for a Foreign Air Carrier Permit. As you know, traffic between Japan and Thailand has been growing continuously year on year, and as such we aim to bring the low cost carrier market new value, choice, and customised travel experience. We hope to launch our service to serve the demand of passengers as soon as possible,” Piya Yodmani, NokScoot’s Chief Executive Officer, said.

NokScoot is a joint venture between Nok Air (DD, Bangkok Don Mueang) and Scoot (TZ, Singapore Changi), Singapore Airlines' longhaul budget subsidiary. Based out of Bangkok Don Mueang, NokScoot will offer medium to long haul flights using a fleet of B777-200(ER) aircraft.

Første fly er nå malt og fargene er like Scoot sine, bortsett fra flyet har fått nebb, itillegg til Noklogoen på halen, og ser litt teit ut

Litt pussig livery den hybriden ja. Men er hvertfall en "big bird" eller Nok Yai som det heter på thai.

Og da blir første flyvning for NokScoot mest sannsynlig for Nok Air innenriks...

Og da var det slutt

The regional budget airline NokScoot is shutting down, saying it cannot recover from the impact of the coronavirus outbreak.

The carrier said its board of directors decided on Friday to liquidate the airline, with the decision to be announced in a general meeting of shareholders to be held in two weeks.

The decision will leave 450 staff members unemployed, save for some who will work on the liquidation process. The company promised to pay them full benefits in accordance with Thai law.
