Loganair celebrates milestone at Newcastle Airport
Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, has celebrated a key milestone at Newcastle Airport: 300,000 passengers have boarded its flights.
To mark the occasion, Loganair’s Chief Executive Officer, Luke Farajallah, and Chief Commercial Officer, Luke Lovegrove, visited the airport to meet with Nick Jones, Chief Executive Officer at Newcastle Airport and his team to surprise one lucky traveller with free flight vouchers.
Fourth-year medical student Emma Pattie was travelling through the airport with her parents—Newcastle local Stephen and mum Goro from Norway—when she was presented with the tickets that could be used across Loganair’s network.
Emma said:
“It was such a wonderful surprise to be given these tickets – I wasn’t expecting that at all when I arrived at the airport!
I think I’ll use them to travel back to Norway to spend time with my friends and family when my busy university schedule allows.”
Luke Farajallah, Chief Executive Officer, Loganair said:
“Reaching 300,000 passengers is a testament to both Loganair and Newcastle Airport’s commitment to providing top-tier service and a seamless travel experience.
This success is not just a number but a reflection of the trust and loyalty of the passengers we serve daily – passengers like Emma and her parents.”
Nick Jones, Chief Executive Officer Newcastle Airport, said:
“We are delighted Loganair has reached this fantastic milestone and it was great to celebrate this achievement with Emma and her family.
Loganair is a longstanding and very important airline partner of ours, providing important connections to destinations across the UK and beyond for both leisure and business passengers.
We look forward to many more years of this strong partnership and building on our success."
