Scoot has flown past reigning champion AirAsia to be the best budget airline in the Asia-Pacific region.


It is the first time the low-cost carrier, which was set up in 2011, won the title at the annual TTG Travel Awards on Friday (Sept 27).


Malaysia's AirAsia has dominated the budget carrier category, having won the title seven times in eight years between 2011 and 2018.


Singapore Airlines, Scoot's parent company, retained its title as the best full-service carrier.


The awards, decided by votes submitted by TTG readers and travel industry professionals, are organised by TTG Asia, a travel trade publisher and events organiser.


The win is a bright spot for the budget airline, which has been hit by major flight disruptions between late 2018 and early 2019.
