scoot

Scoot is a verb meaning to move quickly or to depart in a hurry. It commonly describes sliding or shuffling along the ground or quickly leaving a place, as in “scoot over” to make room. In informal speech, scoot can also imply a brief outing or a rapid movement rather than a long journey.

As a noun, scoot can refer to a quick trip or ride, such as “let’s take a scoot to the store.” In some contexts, the term may also colloquially denote a scooter or small motorcycle used for short-distance travel, though this usage is less formal than the verb form.

Scoot (airline) is a Singapore Airlines Group low-cost carrier established in 2012. It is headquartered at Changi Airport in Singapore and operates a network of routes across Asia, Oceania, and parts of Europe, primarily using long-range aircraft for intercontinental services. The airline’s fleet has included Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft. Scoot offers an all-economy configuration with optional paid add-ons such as meals, baggage, and seat selection, reflecting its budget-friendly positioning within the Singapore Airlines multicarrier portfolio. The airline maintains partnerships and code-share arrangements with various carriers to connect its network with broader global routes.
