Loganair celebrates third anniversary of Edinburgh-Cardiff route
Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, has celebrated a milestone achievement for its Edinburgh-Cardiff route.
The one-hour 20-minute service, which is the only direct flight linking the Scottish and Welsh capital cities, is now three years old and has been used by almost 55,000 customers since it launched on 2 August 2021.
The airline marked the anniversary with an online competition for followers to win a pair of free tickets on the route.
Luke Lovegrove, CCO, Loganair, said:
“It’s extremely rewarding to be celebrating this special milestone with Edinburgh and Cardiff Wales Airports. We are proud to operate the only flight linking the Scottish and Welsh capitals, providing vital connectivity between two significant regional cities and supporting leisure and business travel.
More than half of customers are travelling for leisure purposes and spend two or three days at their destination, helping to grow visitor numbers for both Scotland and Wales.
We look forward to continuing to develop this important route.”
The Edinburgh-Cardiff third anniversary comes after Loganair recently celebrated carrying more than one million customers at Edinburgh, where the airline employs 62 people and indirectly supports many more.
Kate Sherry, Chief Commercial Officer (Aero) at Edinburgh Airport, said:
“There are many things our iconic capital cities have in common, from castles and world-famous museums to incredible scenery, and this important connection has brought them even closer.
Tens of thousands of people have travelled between Scotland and Wales on the route since it started three years ago—whether to enjoy a city break, visit family, or explore business opportunities—and we’d like to congratulate Loganair on making that happen.
We look forward to working with the airline on the continued success of this service and facilitating many more journeys between Edinburgh and Cardiff in the future.”
