More flights into the city will be available from today as summer flights from Scotland kick-off.

Loganair, the UK’s largest regional airline, has commenced its summer schedule which includes additional services from Stornoway to Southampton.

The one-stop, same-place service means passengers boarding at Stornoway don’t need to leave the aircraft at Glasgow and can journey onwards to the city.

Luke Lovegrove, Loganair’s Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We have been inundated with requests for an improved service into the South of the UK from Stornoway and so to be able to facilitate a one-stop connection down to Southampton is exciting.

“We take great pride in facilitating growth in interconnectivity across the UK and by increasing our frequency on key routes like this, we can better serve our customers.”

Chris Tibbett, Group Head of Airlines at Southampton Airport, said: “We are thrilled that Loganair will offer such an exciting new destination from the airport, opening up a stunning and rugged part of Scotland to the Hampshire region”.
