Simcox said he was excited about joining an airline that was prepared to “challenge the status quo”.
“Since Scoot’s launch in 2012, the highly visible, yellow liveried and quirky airline, has quickly risen to become a benchmark and trendsetter in the low-cost market segment,” Simcox said in a statement.
Simcox replaces Dennis Basham, who has taken a job at Back-Roads Touring as its country manager for Australia and New Zealand.
