Loganair Latest News - NewsNow
Latest news on Loganair, Scotland's largest regional airline, providing comprehensive coverage of its routes, fleet, partnerships, and role in connecting communities
www.newsnow.co.ukHere are the latest widely reported updates on Loganair:
-
Ownership status: Loganair’s owners, the Bond brothers, signaled they would delay any sale and keep the airline under their stewardship for the foreseeable future, citing strategic reasons like fleet renewal and system upgrades. This decision effectively paused a formal sale process that had been discussed previously.[1][4]
-
Fleet and operations: The carrier has been progressing with a fleet renewal, including replacing older Saab 340s with ATR 72-600s and upgrading onboard systems on Embraer 145s. These changes aim to boost capacity and improve service reliability across its Highlands and Islands network.[2][4][1]
-
Profitability and contracts: Loganair returned to profitability in the post-pandemic period, driven in part by charter, contract work, and strategic arrangements such as a long-term Royal Mail contract supporting Highlands and Islands operations. This marks a notable rebound after pandemic losses.[3]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest articles from specific outlets (e.g., BBC, STV, or aviation trade press) and summarize any new developments with direct links. Would you like a short bullet update from a couple of reputable sources, or a longer briefing with timelines and fleet details? For Prague-based readers, I can also note how these developments might affect regional connectivity to the Czech Republic if that’s relevant.
