Buy Loganair Flights with Alternative Airlines

Loganair is a Scottish regional airline, serving over 40 destinations across the wider UK and Europe. Since the collapse of Flybe, Loganair has become the UK's largest regional airline by both passenger numbers and fleet size. Founded in 1962 in Glasgow, Loganair operated services under franchise agreements for both British Airways and the now-defunct airline Flybe. The airline also operates under its own corporate identity operating Loganair services across the UK and Europe from 1st September 2017. Loganair has been awarded Public Service Obligation contracts from both the Scottish and UK governments to operate services to remote parts of Scotland. These routes are often subsidised by the government to allow connections to remote regions of the country. Six of the Scottish routes served by Loganair include; Glasgow to Barra, Campbeltown, Tiree, Stornoway to Benbecula, Dundee to Stansted and the Inter Orkney Isles, which are designated Public Service Obligation (PSO) routes.

The airline's main hub is at Glasgow Airport (GLA) and secondary hubs are Aberdeen Airport (ABZ), City of Derry Airport (LDY), East Midlands Airport (EMA), Edinburgh Airport (EDI), Inverness Airport (INV), Kirkwall Airport (KOI), Norwich Airport (NWI) and Newcastle Airport (NCL).

A PSO, one of only two state aid mechanisms within EU legislation for air services, is imposed on routes that are not commercially viable and are essential to counter the remoteness of the regions. In February 2019, it was announced that the airline will launch three new routes from London Southend to Aberdeen, Glasgow and Stornaway. After Flybe axed its service from Southend to Glasgow, the new routes will be a welcome addition.
