Loganair expands Scotland-Southampton connections

More connections between Scotland and England are being introduced by Loganair next year.

The regional airline schedule for summer 2023 includes more services across key routes in response to growing passengers demand.

Additional flights from Edinburgh to Southampton, Exeter and Bergen in Norway feature as well as an extra daily service between Glasgow and Southampton.

Tickets for the new timetable, which starts on June 19, 2023, are on sale from today (Wednesday).

A fifth daily flight on both its Edinburgh and Glasgow services to and from Southampton increases interconnectivity for businesses across the UK while offering more flexibility for leisure travellers, according to the carrier.

Flights are timed to plug a gap in the schedule, allowing passengers to arrive in the Scottish capital early while a new evening flight has been added for a later departure to and from Glasgow.

A double daily service between Edinburgh and Exeter is planned, up from six flights a week this summer, with fares leading in at £79.

Loganair’s international services between Scotland’s capital and Bergen rise to four flights a week.

The airline restarted flights from Edinburgh to Bergen and Stavanger earlier this year following initial pre-pandemic popularity in 2019. Fares start at £103.

Chief commercial officer Luke Lovegrove said: “Loganair has experienced its busiest summer ever this year, carrying a record number of customers across the UK and Europe and we expect summer 2023 to be no different.

“We take great pride in facilitating growth in interconnectivity across the UK and by increasing our frequency on some of our key routes, we can better serve our customers.”
