Loganair Resumes Service Between Aberdeen and Oslo

Loganair is resuming service between Aberdeen and Oslo, resulting in the creation of more than 20 jobs at Aberdeen Airport.

On 13th June, a year-round connection to the Norwegian capital will be established.

A 49-seat Embraer 145 regional jet aircraft is intended to fly up to six times per week. One-way tickets start at £109.99.

With the addition of the Olso route, the airline will have a total of 14 destinations to choose from Aberdeen, with more expected to be added as demand for air travel recovers from the pandemic.

Loganair has expanded its Aberdeen base by hiring more pilots, cabin crew, and engineers. It directly employs over 120 people at the airport and indirectly supports another 100.

New employees are being trained, many of whom were formerly employed by Flybe prior to its bankruptcy nearly two years ago.

Jonathan Hinkles, the CEO of Loganair, 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.”
