London Southend Airport is to become the capital’s new gateway to Scotland following a milestone agreement with Scotland’s airline, Loganair, to provide routes from the airport to three destinations, starting from Spring 2019.
The new routes to Aberdeen, Glasgow and Stornoway represent a major new network between the capital and Scotland.
New, one-stop, same-plane services will also be introduced from Stornoway, providing direct services from the Highland & Island airports to London – there will also be convenient connections to flights to Barra, Benbecula, Islay, Kirkwall, Sumburghand Tiree.
The partnership was announced by Glyn Jones, CEO of Stobart Aviation and Loganair’s Managing Director, Jonathan Hinkles in an event at London Southend this lunchtime.
To celebrate the new routes, they were joined by the Essex Caledonian Pipe Band, who performed for passengers in the Departures Lounge.
