Loganair extends summer services through winter for 2020

Loganair is to extend six of its summer services into winter, including Stornoway to Manchester, Glasgow to Newquay, Dundee to Belfast and Aberdeen to Shetland.

The carrier billed as Scotland's airline puts tickets for its expanded Winter 2020 schedule up to 31 January 2021 on sale today.

Edinburgh to Hannover and Newcastle to Bergen are also extended into winter.

Chief commercial officer Kay Ryan said: “We’re pleased to announce these winter service enhancements on many of our existing routes, some using our recently acquired ATR aircraft and others using our Embraer regional jet fleet.

“We continually look for ways to improve our schedules, which is an essential part of listening to our customers and developing our services to meet their needs. We are aware our customers often like to make winter and festive season travel arrangements well in advance, hence this early on-sale date.
