Loganair has announced an expansion of its Heathrow services to key regions of the UK for summer 2024.
The moves come as Loganair continues to expand regional connectivity in the UK with its unrivalled services, linking some of the country’s most remote communities with one of the world’s busiest travel hubs.
The popular Sumburgh-London one-stop same-plane service will resume in early March after a short winter break. From 31 March, the service will increase to three flights each week, with departures in each direction on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays – ideal for short breaks, longer stays and for making onward connections to over 100 destinations worldwide via London Heathrow with British Airways and Loganair’s other partner airlines.
Also in the highlands, Kirkwall’s one-stop air service to London will make a welcome return in early March, and there will be two weekly flights during the summer to London Heathrow’s Terminal 2.
For customers in Northern Ireland, an improved timetable of flights connecting City of Derry and London Heathrow will also see three flights in each direction on Sundays – an increase to keep pace with demand.
Customers travelling from Derry will also enjoy more flexibility with the afternoon service departing at lunchtime, arriving in Heathrow shortly thereafter and opening up a far broader range of connections to British Airways worldwide flights and those of Loganair’s other airline partners.
In the evening, the Heathrow-bound service will now depart City of Derry 40 minutes earlier at 5.30pm and the final flight of the day from Heathrow will also leave at a more convenient time of 7.45pm to arrive in City of Derry at 9.10pm, some 35 minutes earlier than today.
Reinforcing its commitment to Isle of Man, Loganair will also boost its Ronaldsway-Heathrow connection with a new earlier arrival time into Heathrow, opening up a much wider range of same-day flight connections to North America. The daily Heathrow service will now leave the Isle of Man at 9.45am and arrive at London Heathrow Terminal 2 at 11:20am, which means connections to the likes of Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vancouver and Seattle are now possible.
A second Isle of Man-Heathrow flight will also run on Saturdays through the summer, offering an afternoon travel option in addition to the daily morning flight.
Luke Lovegrove, Loganair’s Chief Commercial Officer said, “Our routes to Heathrow have gone from strength to strength since we started our services from T2 last April and, with both the Elizabeth Line and Heathrow Express rapid connections linking Heathrow with central London, the improvements to flight times assure a full working day in London.
“We continue to fly to and from some of the most remote destinations in the country, and this summer will provide unrivalled regional connectivity for these areas, led by customer demand.”
Alyson Playford, Aviation Director, Heathrow said, “It is fantastic to see Loganair expand their services at Heathrow, connecting some of the most remote parts of the country to the UK’s hub airport.
“Our longstanding commitment to domestic connectivity ensures the whole country can access the world’s economy through our network of more than 200 destinations. We look forward to welcoming even more Loganair passengers at Heathrow this summer.”
All Loganair fares include checked baggage allowance and, on flights of over 45 minutes scheduled time on Embraer and ATR aircraft, complimentary in-flight refreshments.
