Loganair set to open new Southampton airport base
Regional airline Loganair is opening its tenth airport base at Southampton, which will generate new jobs, specifically for pilots, cabin crew and engineers.
The Southampton base allows the airline to efficiently serve southern mainland and island communities and will increase the number of seats available through the airline by over 140,000 per year.
It is planned that the base will house two ATR-72 600 aircraft, with the first aircraft arriving in October 2025.
Loganair plans to launch two new routes, as well as increasing capacity for one of its existing flights.
From October 26, new routes from Southampton to Manchester and Manchester to Exeter have been added to the airline’s timetable.
Also, seat capacity of aircraft serving the Southampton to Edinburgh route has been increased from 49 to 72 passengers.
New routes via Manchester to Inverness and Aberdeen will also become available.
The new Southampton to Manchester route is timed to meet key connections to Inverness, Aberdeen and Isle of Man.
This new route also streamlines onward connectivity at Manchester, via existing partnerships with Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Aer Lingus.
Luke Farajallah, Loganair CEO, said: “We are delighted to be announcing a new base in Southampton, which is a logical and important strategic step. Loganair is very familiar with operations to and from the South Coast, and we feel confident the local market will respond well to our more permanent presence.”
“We would like to thank our partners at AGS (Aberdeen, Glasgow & Southampton Airport Group) for working with our teams to deliver a new dimension to our existing partnership”.
Loganair has nine other bases including: Kirkwall, Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, City of Derry, Newcastle and Isle of Man.
