Loganair relaunches flights from Teesside
Loganair has put on sale flights to five destinations from Teesside Airport, with the first due to launch next February.
The airline’s services from Teesside to Aberdeen and Belfast City will be followed by flights to Dublin, Jersey and Newquay next summer.
Loganair will operate up to seven flights per week to Dublin and Belfast City, six flights per week to Aberdeen, three to Cornwall Airport Newquay and two to Jersey.
The Glasgow-based airline will return to Teesside for the first time since 2018 as a result of a new partnership with the airport. It will name one of its Embraer 145 aircraft Spirit of Teesside.
Loganair chief executive Jonathan Hinkles said: "We’re very happy to be returning to Teesside International. And we are back for good. We’re really looking forward to working with the team at the airport and the wider Tees Valley Combined Authority.
"There’s no doubt that air travel is having a difficult time right now, but I’m confident that our plans for Teesside International are both viable and appropriate now and for the longer term."
Tees Valley Mayor Ben Houchen, above, said: "Even in these tough times, it’s fantastic to be welcoming yet another airline partner back to Teesside International, giving people from the region, the wider North East and Yorkshire even more options when flying domestically from their local airport.
"As well as offering more flexibility for our passengers, Loganair is also reintroducing the much-loved summer route to Jersey. This is yet another great destination as we continue to expand our 2021 holidays schedule and give people something to look forward to in these difficult times.
"I’m looking forward to us working more closely together in the future to offer even more exciting destinations."
