Loganair is extending its connectivity through an interline deal with Qatar Airways.
The agreement allows passengers in the Scottish carrier’s Highlands and Islands network to book single tickets to multiple long-haul destinations via Edinburgh airport saving an Air Passenger Duty charge of up to £78.
They can also connect onto Qatar Airways flights to its Doha hub via Manchester and Dublin airports.
The move is the latest in Loganair’s ‘Better Connected’ scheme which aims to enhance its network with access to further destinations with partner airlines.
Qatar Airways chief executive Akbar Al Baker said: “As our only gateway to the beautiful country of Scotland, Edinburgh is a significant part of the Qatar Airways UK network.
“We are delighted to partner with Loganair to provide greater ease and peace of mind to passengers travelling through Edinburgh airport on to long-haul destinations.”
Loganair commercial director Kay Ryan said: ‘We are pleased that Qatar Airways has chosen to work with Loganair. This is an exciting deal with one of the biggest names in international air travel.”
