Scoot ending Athens – Berlin ‘fifth freedom’ flights

Scoot will axe its 3-hour intra-Europe flights between Athens and Berlin at the end of this month, but the airline will retain non-stop services from Singapore to both cities.

Since August 2021, SIA’s low-cost subsidiary Scoot has been operating fifth-freedom flights between Athens and Berlin, as a way to reinstate services from both cities to Singapore during the COVID-19 pandemic, when passenger traffic was severely limited due to testing, travel eligibility restrictions and quarantine requirements.

The three-hour intra-Europe leg of these services was also launched to tap into markets already open to leisure travellers without quarantine requirements, just a month after Singapore Airlines began Copenhagen – Rome intra-Europe ‘fifth freedom’ flights, for similar reasons.

Athens – Berlin is being axed

With SIA having already ceased its Copenhagen – Rome fifth freedom services on 1st June 2022, in favour of serving each city non-stop from Singapore as traffic has increased, Scoot will follow by axing its Athens – Berlin – Athens flights at the end of this month.

The final services as highlighted below will take place in both directions on Thursday 30th June 2022.
