Named "Jalan Jalan" and "Travel Kaki", which means "take a walk" and "travel buddy", respectively in Malay, Scoot's third and fourth Embraer E190-E2 aircraft, like its predecessors, aim to make flying to one's destinations as casual and convenient as its namesakes. 

This will be achievable through a low trip cost and a low seat cost, says Adam Young, Embraer's vice-president of marketing Asia-Pacific (APAC).

Young says the E2 burns less fuel thanks to weight-saving attained through new technologies in engine design and aerodynamic improvements.
