Great news: Scoot now flies to Vietnam's Da Nang, Nha Trang and Malaysia's Kota Bharu
It's about time for Da Nang and Nha Trang if you ask us. These two Vietnamese coastal gems may not get the same spotlight as Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh, but they're up-and-coming destinations in their own right. These summer favourites have stunning beaches and well-developed nightlife scenes (be it night markets or beachside bars), and Da Nang in particular is the perfect gateway to gorgeous landscapes and cultural attractions like Ba Na Hills, Golden Bridge, the UNESCO World Heritage Site My Son Sanctuary, and ancient towns Hoi An and Hue.
Malaysia's Kota Bharu flies comparatively under-the-radar, but is a good option if you're a cultural buff. As the state capital and royal seat of Kelantan, it's the hub of Malaysian traditional arts and crafts – think traditional drums, silat dance, and shadow puppetry.
In a sign that demand is hot, Scoot is looking to ramp up flights to these locations progressively until the end of the year. Here's the expected schedule and one-way ticket prices:
Da Nang: Three times weekly from October 20; progressively increased to daily flights by December 2025; from 115 SGD
Nha Trang: Two times weekly from November 21; progressively increased to five times weekly flights by January 2026; from 135 SGD
Kota Bharu: Two times weekly flights from October 26; from 78 SGD
More routes to launch at year-end
Towards the end of the year, you can hop on a Scoot flight to more destinations like Okinawa, Japan, and Medan and Labuan Bajo in Indonesia. Fantastic news for those who bemoaned the loss of the Okinawa and Labuan Bajo routes previously offered by Jetstar Asia, which recently announced its closure.
Scoot will also boost flight frequency on a number of existing routes. Destinations that will soon get more flights:
From July 2025: Jakarta, Indonesia; Sydney, Australia
From August 2025: Clark, Philippines; Perth, Australia
From September 2025: Davao and Manila, Philippines; Hat Yai, Thailand
Don't miss upcoming promotional fares
Heads-up: a limited-time sale to selected destinations is happening from July 8 to 13. The promotional fares will be on offer on Scoot's website and mobile application. This is on top of a sales launch for the new destinations.

Batik Air's direct Subang-Bangkok service takes off
Here's one more way to get between Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok: Malaysian budget carrier Batik Air has launched a new service between Sultan Abdul Aziz Shah Airport (SZB) and Don Mueang International Airport (DMK) on July 28. The inaugural flight took off on July 28, marking the start of greater connectivity between Malaysia and Thailand's capital cities. For travellers, Subang is a great alternative to fly in and out of, too, as it's just 20 minutes from the KL city centre – closer than Kuala Lumpur International Airport. The new route is Batik Air's first international service operating from Subang Airport. The Subang-Bangkok route follows the launch of its Subang-Kuching route in the same week, bolstering the carrier's existing services from Subang to Penang, Kota Bahru, Kota Kinabalu, and Tawau.

Turbulence forces Delta flight to land and sends 25 passengers to hospitals, airline says
A Delta Air Lines flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was hit by serious turbulence, injuring passengers and forcing the flight to divert to Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport, the airline said. The flight landed around 7:45 p.m. Wednesday. The airport fire department and paramedics met the flight and 25 passengers were taken to hospitals for evaluation and treatment, the airline said. Serious injuries from in-flight turbulence are rare, but scientists say they may be becoming more common as climate change alters the jet stream. A man was killed when a Singapore Airlines flight hit severe turbulence in May 2024, the first person to die from turbulence on a major airline in several decades.

Adidas shares drop after sales miss expectations, flags $231 mln tariff cost
July 30(Reuters) - Adidas ( opens new tab shares fell 7.5% in early trade on Wednesday after the sportswear brand's second-quarter sales missed expectations and it warned that higher U.S. tariffs would add around 200 million euros ($231 million) to its costs in the second half. Highlighting the impact of U.S. President Donald Trump's volatile trade policies, Adidas said uncertainty was holding it back from increasing its annual guidance despite reporting a stronger than expected second-quarter profit. "We still do not know what the final tariffs in the U.S. will be," CEO Bjorn Gulden said in a statement. Another unknown is the indirect impact on consumer demand if the tariffs cause "major inflation", he added. Net sales, adjusted for currency swings, rose 2.2% to 5.95 billion euros ($6.9 billion) in the quarter, lower than analysts' average estimate of 6.2 billion euros, according to data compiled by LSEG. The result will fuel fears that, after a run of very strong sales growth fuelled by its trending three-striped multicoloured Samba and Gazelle shoes, Adidas is losing momentum. "For investors to view this as a temporary setback, the company will need to deliver a reassuring message regarding the outlook for H2 and the early 2026 order book," UBS analyst Robert Krankowski said in a note to clients. The U.S. earlier this month announced a 20% levy on many Vietnamese exports and a 19% tariff on goods from Indonesia. Adidas' two biggest sourcing countries, Vietnam and Indonesia produced 27% and 19% of Adidas' products respectively as of 2024. Like many other sportswear companies, including Puma , Adidas has frontloaded product purchases into the U.S. to try to beat tariffs, driving its inventories up 16% to 5.26 billion euros at the end of June. Adidas is also having to contend with a stronger euro and weaker dollar, which hit sales by around 300 million euros in the quarter through June. Adidas' quarterly operating profit reached 546 million euros, ahead of analysts' expectations for 520 million. Its gross margin increased by 0.9 percentage points to 51.7% in the quarter, as reduced discounting and lower product and freight costs mitigated the impacts from currencies and tariffs.
