About Loganair
As the UKs largest regional Loganair operates an extensive network of scheduled and charter services across the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Our continued success is due to our people’s ability to innovate and turn complex operational challenges into deliverable solutions. This flexibility has enabled the business to become the first UK airline to return to profitability following the pandemic.
More recently we have expanded our regional network across the UK linking major business centres with high frequency services catering for business and leisure travellers alike. We codeshare with BA and other global partners allowing seamless connections from major hubs such as Manchester and London Heathrow.
We operate a number of aircraft types tailored to meet our customer requirements and are proud to operate the world’s shortest scheduled flight between Westray and Papa Westray in the Orkney Islands and are the only scheduled air service to a beach airport, on Barra, in the Outer Hebrides.
To many of our customers we are more than just an airline, we are a lifeline - connecting families and communities from remote regions to the mainland. Recently awarded the silver award for the employer recognition scheme by the Armed Forces Covenant, Loganair continues to collaborate with partners to support the communities we serve.
