Loganair restores Aberdeen-Oslo route

Loganair is restoring flights between Aberdeen and Oslo, creating more than 20 jobs at the Scottish airport.

The year-round link to the Norwegian capital starts on June 13.

Up to six flights a week are scheduled using 49-seat Embraer 145 regional jet aircraft. Fares start at £109.99 one-way.

The Olso connection will give the airline a network of 14 destinations from Aberdeen  with  more expected to be added as demand for air travel continues to recover from the pandemic.

Loganair has recruited more pilots, cabin crew and engineers to work at its Aberdeen base. It directly employs more than 120 staff at the airport and supports a further 100 indirect jobs.

Training for new recruits is under way, many formerly employed by Flybe prior to its collapse nearly two years ago.

Loganair chief executive Jonathan Hinkles said: “Together with the new Oslo route, Loganair’s expansion at Aberdeen will see us offering our largest-ever schedule in summer 2022.

“It has been a pleasure and a privilege to welcome many new employees to our airline in recent weeks as we create new jobs to support this growth.

“It has been a tough two years for the whole industry and it is clear that they’re hugely excited to be returning to the skies with Loganair.”
