Loganair has launched operations from its newest UK base.
The airline began operating from Southampton Airport on January 5, with plans to reach full operational capacity by March, including permanently stationing two aircraft at the site.
Ronnie Matheson, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: "The start of operations at our Southampton base represents an important step in strengthening the resilience of our network and ensuring consistent, reliable air links for the South Coast.

"For more than 60 years, Loganair has focused on serving regions and communities that depend on strong domestic connectivity.
"Establishing a permanent base in Southampton allows us to better support an area of the country that is often overlooked, while providing our customers with dependable services and improved operational stability."
The new base supports both existing and recently launched routes, including flights to Manchester and Edinburgh.
It forms part of Loganair’s wider strategy to improve regional connectivity across the UK.
This includes onward links through Manchester to Inverness, Aberdeen, and the Isle of Man, as well as international destinations via Loganair’s codeshare and interline partners.
Chris Tibbett, aviation director at AGS Airports, said: "This is a fantastic milestone for Southampton Airport and a clear demonstration of Loganair’s commitment to strengthening regional connectivity.
"Establishing a permanent base here not only enhances travel options for our passengers but also delivers tangible benefits for the local economy through job creation and increased business opportunities."

Loganair said the Southampton base will improve its ability to respond to disruption, increase operational flexibility, and provide more reliable services to and from the South Coast.
Southampton is now the airline’s tenth base, joining others across the UK including Kirkwall, Inverness, Aberdeen, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee, City of Derry, Jersey, and the Isle of Man.
Loganair has also been recognised for its performance in recent months.
The UK Civil Aviation Authority named it the most punctual airline for UK arrivals and departures during the second quarter of 2025.
The carrier reported that 86 per cent of its flights operated on time during that period.
Passengers can book flights on the Loganair website or through travel agents.
