Loganair’s new London Stansted
service takes flight
27.02.19
LOGANAIR'S new service between City of Derry Airport
and London Stansted commenced operations on
Wednesday, 27th
February 2019. Passengers departing on the inaugural
flight were treated to light refreshments and
entertainment.
The Managing Director of Loganair, Jonathan Hinkles,
welcomed passengers on board their flight, which
departed from City of Derry Airport at 07:05am. Mr
Hinkles stated, “We are very pleased to be able to
continue the vital airlink between Derry and London
Stansted. Bookings have been extremely positive
which only re-enforces how important this route is
to the region. We look forward to building on a
successful start with the new Derry to Manchester
schedule starting the 24th May. Both Stansted and
Manchester will operate on our Embraer 145 jet
aircraft, and with our existing Glasgow service
brings the total routes served by Loganair from City
of Derry Airport to three.”
Regional & City Airport’s Contracts Director, Clive
Coleman, outlined that the double daily service
enables travellers within the local area to depart
Derry early morning and return the same evening as
well as acting as a catalyst for in-bound tourism to
the region. Clive said, “We are absolutely thrilled
to have Loganair commence operations of our London
Stansted public obligation service. This is great
news for the airport and the wider North West
region. A direct air link with a London airport is
imperative for this region and our business
community.” |
