Loganair partnership with easyJet launches

Scotland's Airline, Loganair has officially commenced its partnership with international carrier easyJet, as part of its new Worldwide service - which went live today.

Worldwide by easyJet’ is the first global airline connections service by a European low fares airline, which also offers stand-alone flights from partner airlines with complementary networks.

Booking Loganair flights via the easyJet website will enable easyJet passengers to easily book onward flights – e.g. from Glasgow and Edinburgh with Loganair to Scotland’s Highlands and Islands, including the Glasgow – Barra link, the world’s only scheduled service to a beach airport. ‘Worldwide by easyJet’ provides partner airlines with access to one of the biggest travel websites in Europe.

Jonathan Hinkles, Managing Director of Loganair commented: “We believe this exciting partnership with easyJet will open up the beautiful Highlands and Islands to a whole new audience and Loganair is looking forward to welcoming them on board.”

Minister for Transport and the Islands Humza Yousaf said: “This is excellent news for the communities served by Loganair, improving connectivity and making it even easier to access easyJet’s network of onward destinations.
