British Airways and Loganair expand codeshare
British Airways and Loganair announced a major expansion of their codeshare agreement, with more connectivity for customers travelling across the UK.
The expansion to 18 new routes will now give British Airways’ customers access to 38 of Loganair’s UK routes, for onward connections from destinations across the airline’s route network, or point to point travel in the UK.
Customers who book onto these selected routes operated by Loganair through ba.com can also earn Avios and Tier points as part of British Airways’ Executive Club programme.
Routes now available to book include Aberdeen to Belfast City, Birmingham, Bristol, Manchester, and Southampton, Cornwall Airport Newquay to Manchester, Isle of Man to Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester, and Norwich to Aberdeen and Edinburgh.
British Airways’ customers travelling from Aberdeen or the Isle of Man to Manchester will also now be able to connect onto British Airways’ code share flights on other carriers, including oneworld partners, from the north-west hub.
Destinations include New York, Barbados and Orlando, allowing customers to book a single ticket with assured connections.
The news of a codeshare expansion between the two carriers comes as Loganair celebrates its 60th birthday, making it the oldest UK airline still operating under its original name.
Loganair’s Chief Executive Jonathan Hinkles said: "We’re delighted to mark Loganair’s 60th anniversary with the expansion of our partnership with British Airways. Today’s addition of no fewer than 18 routes is great news for connectivity to and from the UK regions."
