A teenager whose mother was the first baby born on a Loganair aircraft has become a member of the Scottish airline’s cabin crew.
Chloe Stott, 18, is the daughter of Katy Stott, who was born 2,000ft above Orkney in 1973 on a special air ambulance flight from the island of Stronsay to Kirkwall.
The aircraft was only a few minutes into the short flight when Katy’s mother Freida Devin gave birth.
Thick fog prevented the aircraft from landing in Kirkwall, and Captain Jamie Bayley had to divert to Aberdeen.
Chloe said she has always wanted to be a cabin crew attendant.
She told the BBC: “I’ve wanted to be a cabin crew attendant for as long as I can remember.
“It’s probably linked to the unusual circumstances in which my mum was born but both of us share this interest.
“My family is originally from Orkney, so it’s wonderful to be working for an airline which holds such established roots with the islands and I’m looking forward to working on some of the services operating to Kirkwall.”
Loganair managing director Jonathan Hinkles said: “We’re delighted to welcome Chloe to our cabin crew team. We are proud to maintain the same emphasis on community service today as back then.”
