According to several sites like this one: https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/covid-19-singapore-no-entry-short-term-visitors-12564546

 

No foreigners are allowed to enter or transit through Singapore. But it seems Scoot have multiple flights transiting through Singapore. Eg. flights to Sydney from BKK. How is this possible?

 

 

You are probably looking at outdated data.

According to their website all Sidney - Singapore and BKK - Singapore flights are cancelled.

SINGAPORE - published 23.03.2020
1. Passengers traveling as short-term visitors are not allowed to transit or enter Singapore.
-This does not apply to returning residents of Singapore (Singapore Citizens, Permanent Residents or Long-Term Pass Holders(including holders of Work Pass, Student's Pass, Dependant's Pass, and Long-Term Visit Pass)). If they have been in Hubei Province (China People's Rep.) within the last 14 days, they will be quarantined for 14 days upon entry into Singapore. For others, they will be issued a 14-day Stay-Home-Notice (SHN) upon entry into Singapore.

Interesting that that refers to 'short term' visitors.  Not all wishing to transit would fall into that category. 

Just checked and discovered Singapore Airlines are not offering flights from Thailand to London. This probably applies to other destinations which are routed via Singapore

I'm not looking at any outdated data. Do a fresh search on Google flights one way from BKK to SYD. Pick the default date of Mon 6th April. First result is a Scoot flight transitting in Sydney with a 19h45m overnight layover. Select that flight then select to book via Scoot. Scoot shows the flight is available and you can book it.

 

Check the same date on Google flights. There's also one with Malaysian Airlines transiting in Kuala Lumpur with an 18h55m layover. So flights are being abled to transit there even though apparently both those countries don't allow transiting or entering???

I haven't checked those specific flights but many flights still showing online don't exist when you try to buy a ticket.

That was just mentioned on the TV news from UK, particularly relevant when you try to go via an agent. Go to the airline and it may not even be flying.

Scoot has already cancelled all their flight from Bangkok to Singapore through April 5. You can reliably expect flights from April 6 onward to be cancelled also.
