Loganair boosts Highlands and Islands services with ATR order
Regional airline Loganair announced new multi-million-pound agreements to complete the renewal of its aircraft fleet by 2023.
The airline, which currently operates 42 aircraft, will offload its remaining eight Saab 340B passenger aircraft through a $12 million sale agreement, as it welcomes a further eight ATR next-generation turboprops in 2023.
The new ATR turboprops will bring up to a 27% reduction in carbon emissions per seat versus the Saab 340 which operate on Loganair’s Highland and Island routes.
The completed ATR fleet will have an average age of only eight years.
Loganair already has 15 ATR next-generation turboprops in service, including four of the 72-seat ATR 72-600 passenger aircraft and four dedicated ATR 72-500 Freighter aircraft.
The Saabs will progressively leave the airline’s fleet between now and July 2023, and will continue flying with new operators in North America.
These additional eight aircraft will arrive by summer 2023, making Loganair one of the largest operators of ATRs in Europe.
Loganair Chief Executive Jonathan Hinkles said: “The Saab 340s have served us, and our customers, superbly well over the last two decades but it’s time for us to transition to a new generation of aircraft.”
