Changes to Kirkwall flights: Friday 12th and Saturday 13th July
Loganair has been notified by Highlands & Islands Airports Ltd, the operator of Kirkwall airport, that an unforeseen and exceptional staffing issue will lead to the closure of Kirkwall Airport during certain times of the day on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th of July. The timing of the airport closures is affecting Loganair services planned to operate at those times.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience that this will cause to our customers. Although we’ve worked hard to come up with alternative contingency plans by re-routing aircraft and crews to minimise disruption, some flight cancellations and schedule adjustments have proven to be unavoidable.

We expect all other services to and from Kirkwall on Friday 12th and Saturday 13th July to take place as scheduled. However, as there is always a possibility of further unforeseen circumstances creating disruption, we’d like to ask you to take a few moments to ensure that your contact details are correctly shown in your booking (via www.loganair.co.uk and “Manage my Booking”) to ensure that we can get in touch with you directly and quickly should the need arise.
If you are affected by these changes, Loganair sincerely regrets this disruption to your journey. The situation is entirely beyond our control and all we can do is to say thank you in anticipation of your patience and understanding.
