Loganair Reconnects Isle of Man with Heathrow

Loganair has reconnected the Isle of Man with Heathrow, as well as increasing its services from the island to London City airport.

The daily Heathrow flight connects the island to the rest of the globe, with connections to Loganair partner carriers like as British Airways.

The new weekday schedule of morning and evening flights to London City will include day-return service in both directions, as well as a trip in each direction on Sunday evenings.

Loganair’s codeshare arrangement with BA will include both the London City and Heathrow routes.

The regional carrier’s 72-seat ATR72-600 aircraft will be deployed for all Isle of Man operations.

Loganair now has six routes to and from the Isle of Man as a result of the new services.

Jonathan Hinkles, CEO of Loganair, said: “As businesses in the Isle of Man start on their journeys to recovery from the pandemic, we know that connectivity to London’s central business district and trade with the wider world is of huge importance.

“After the tremendous efforts of our team in the Isle of Man I’m delighted to be here with them today to mark the take-off of our full schedules to London City airport, and to London Heathrow – which really is a route to the world in collaboration with our global airline partners.

“It’s a role we don’t take lightly though, and our focus now turns to delivering dependable air services to these London airports that will undoubtedly be the most important for the island going forward.”

Minister for Enterprise in the Isle of Man, Dr. Alex Allinson, added: “Ensuring the island is well connected by air is a matter of strategic national importance, particularly during this critical period of economic recovery following the pandemic.

“Securing additional flights to the London region for 2022 was an important interim measure and I am delighted that an agreement has been reached with Loganair to provide connectivity to both London City and Heathrow.”
