As the Government of India announced the resumption of International travel from 27 March 2022, Scoot is set to operate five times a week between Visakhapatnam and Singapore, thus increasing its frequency of flights between the two countries.

With the cases gradually decreasing the Government has announced to restart international flights from the end of March. The subsidiary of Singapore International Airlines, Scoot has announced that with effect from 27 March 2022, they will be operating on Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday every week. The resumption of international flights was also approved by The Director-General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) as the spread of the COVID-19 virus has drastically reduced in the country.

The restrictions have now been lifted, and Scoot has increased its frequency of flights from Visakhapatnam to Singapore to five times a week.
