SINGAPORE – Two flights operated by budget carrier Scoot between Singapore and Hat Yai have been cancelled amid intense flooding in southern Thailand.
In response to media queries, Scoot said it had cancelled the flights, which were scheduled for Nov 28, due to operational reasons as a precautionary measure.
Flight TR632 was scheduled to depart Singapore for Hat Yai at 12.05pm, while flight TR633 was expected to arrive in Singapore at 4.05pm from Hat Yai on the same day.
The low-cost airline said affected customers may request a full refund if they choose not to continue with their travel.
It added that customers were provided the option to rebook to alternative Scoot flights between the same origin and destination.
Checks by The Straits Times showed that two Scoot flights between Singapore and Hat Yai later on Nov 28 were “on schedule”.
Flight TR630 is scheduled to fly from Singapore to Hat Yai at 9.55pm, while flight TR631 is scheduled to depart Hat Yai for Singapore at 11.10pm (Hat Yai time).
Singapore’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs had on Nov 25 advised Singaporeans against travelling to the Songkhla province in southern Thailand and other affected areas due to flooding.
It said the flood situation in Hat Yai, a district within the province, remains serious.
Songkhla province was declared a disaster zone
