Loganair has celebrated reaching the 300,000 passengers milestone on its routes through London’s Heathrow Airport.
Services to City of Derry Airport, Dundee, Kirkwall, and Sumburgh began two years ago.
Loganair surprised its 300,000th customer, Leigh Flynn, 46, from Dundee, with complimentary return tickets to mark the occasion.
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.”
Joanna Taso, aviation director at Heathrow, said: “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.”
