The five-times-weekly services on Scoot to Yangon, Myanmar will be taken over by the regional wing of Singapore Airlines, SilkAir from 29 October 2017. This will boost SilkAir's operations to Yangon to 15 non-stop flights each week. Parent company Singapore Airlines also operates daily services to Yangon.

Guests with existing bookings on Scoot’s Yangon services on and after 29 October 2017 will be re-accommodated on SilkAir. They will receive details of their new bookings by email when the re-accommodation is completed. Guests who prefer to cancel their bookings can opt for a full refund of their tickets. Scoot guests who require assistance can contact the Scoot call centre.
With the transfer, Scoot will no longer operate to Myanmar and its network will then span 60 destinations across 16 countries. Scoot had earlier announced that it will commence scheduled services to Kuching on 29 October 2017, Honolulu on 19 December 2017 and Kuantan on 2 February 2018. Scoot will also mount seasonal flights to Harbin starting from 1 December 2017, and add seasonal non-stop Singapore-Sapporo flights (in addition to existing year-round Singapore-Taipei-Sapporo flights) starting from 3 November 2017.
Just weeks after the last change, Qantas has reshuffled its Singapore lounge hours again: an earlier First Lounge opening, a 1am Business Lounge close and no more pre-dawn mornings.
