NokScoot – the new Low Cost Carrier operated as a joint venture between NokAir (partially owned by Thai Airways) and Scoot (a Singapore Airlines subsidiary) have rolled out their first Boeing 777 painted in the combined operation colours…
And… well. It has of lots of Scoot’s colour scheme, with Nok’s painted bird nose cone.

NokScoot will operate services out of Bangkok Don Mueang International Airport – with its route network unannounced as yet. With a Boeing 777 to be rostered to the fleet, this would point to medium to long haul markets to be used by the airline.
This is the first of three aircraft to join the fleet for the initial launch programme.
It’s certainly a striking paint scheme, however the proof of the pudding will be the seats inside. If they’re anything like the normal Scoot seats – it’s going to be rather tight….
