Leading regional airline Loganair (LM/LOG) is celebrating the milestone of its 300,000th passenger at London Heathrow (LHR/EGLL) since launching routes to Dundee, Kirkwall, Sumburgh, and City of Derry two years ago, and services to the Isle of Man three years ago.
To celebrate the occasion, the 300,000th passenger, Leigh Flynn from Dundee, was presented with complimentary return tickets for Loganair.
Leigh said: “I live in Dundee, so having a local airport is a real benefit. The service between Dundee and Heathrow is always efficient, and the experience both at the airport and onboard is excellent – I love being able to avoid the long queues at bigger airports, and the complimentary tea and biscuits are a nice touch!“
Commenting on the milestone Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “This milestone is a real testament to the importance of regional connectivity and the role our routes to Heathrow play in supporting it. Since the routes launched, we’ve seen strong demand from customers who rely on these direct links for work, travel and family connections.
“It’s a pleasure to mark the 300,000th passenger with Leigh, and we’re proud to be delivering a service that brings genuine benefits to the communities we serve.”
Thanks to its codeshare agreements Loganair offers connections to over 90 global destinations from Heathrow with airlines including British Airways, Emirates and Qatar Airways.
Joanna Taso, aviation director at Heathrow, added: “We’re proud to mark three successful years of Loganair operations at Heathrow. Since May 2022, the Isle of Man has enjoyed direct connectivity through the UK’s hub airport, with Dundee, Shetland, Orkney and Derry~Londonderry joining the network in 2023.
“With over 300,000 passengers flown, this partnership underscores our commitment to strengthening domestic links and opening up global opportunities for regional communities.”
