UK's Loganair to cut flights to 3 destinations from July

Loganair offers flights to and from locations across the UK and France, including Paris, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and London.

But the regional airline has revealed it can no longer maintain its current level of service "without impacting the wider business".

Full list of flights being cut by Loganair

Loganair will reduce flights between Inverness and Stornoway, Orkney, and Shetland from July 19.

There are currently daily flights from Inverness to Orkney (Kirkwall) and Shetland (Sumburgh), as well as a regular service to Stornoway.

But flights between these destinations will only operate on Saturdays and Sundays from July.

Chief executive of Loganair, Luke Farajallah, speaking to the BBC, said: "We do not take these decisions lightly."

He continued: "The recent increase in fuel prices, together with escalations in aircraft repair costs, airport fees and route charges, mean that Loganair, Hial and Transport Scotland must find a way to sustain lifeline routes where passenger numbers are limited."

"These routes matter to us and to the communities they serve, but we must balance that commitment with the long-term sustainability of Loganair and the wider network those communities also rely on."

Mr Farajallah said that if more funding were secured, then full services could resume in October.

A support package has been offered by Hial, owned by the Scottish government, but it warned that any assistance must be affordable.

Loganair joins other major airlines, including British Airways, Ryanair, and Aer Lingus, in cutting flights in 2026.
