Loganair

Loganair Ltd has provided air travel since 1962. They started out as an air taxi service for the Logan Construction Company Ltd. Almost from the beginning, it was realized that there was a demand for scheduled travel services as well. The fleet began to grow and the travel network continued to expand. They started working an inter-island scheduled network in Orkney in 1964 and later Shetland in 1970. They introduced air ambulance services in 1967. The areas that were covered included Coll, Colonsay, Oronsay, Mull and Oban.

Loganair’s network continued to grow. This is in part due to the fact that British Airways transferred “thin” routes to Loganair. Loganair introduced an air service between Glasgow and Derry in 1979. Loganair now wanted to start working on establishing many business routes. In 1980 Loganair began servicing the route from Belfast to Edinburgh.
Business travelers became a large part of Loganair’s travelers. They began to acquire larger aircraft. They entered the jet market in the early 1980’s. With the addition of new aircraft they were able to commence services to the Channel Islands and Mainland Europe.

In the 90’s came some harder times for the airline. Their cross-border services were transferred to Manx Airlines in 1994. Other transfers were made too. In recent years their routes have grown again, as has their fleet. Loganair is synonymous with aviation in Scotland. They service local areas in Scotland and provide life-line services to remote islands. For the business traveler who flies between Scotland’s various cities, Loganair provides them with the service they need. Loganair has a franchise partnership with British Airways. This enables them to serve a network outside of the local market. Some of their other destinations include Aberdeen, Edinburgh and Glasgow. Anyone flying with Loganair receives quality service and hospitality. Loganair is also a member of oneworld. This allows their reach to be global. Oneworld is an alliance of airlines. Other members include American Airlines, British Airways, Cathay Pacific and Qantas. This allegiance provides travelers with a network of more than 550 destinations.
