Natalie has had an impressive career to date, which commenced with several years in the Royal Navy as a Warfare officer, before she joined Flybe as a pilot, initially flying the BAE146, and the Embraer 195.

Her flying career progressed to see her achieve a command on the Q400 fleet at the same time as taking on management roles, ultimately leading to being appointed as Director of Safety and Security for the airline until 2019, when she left to join Specialist Aviation Services (now Gama Aviation) as COO. Following a successful time in the rotary sector delivering helicopter and maintenance services to the UK air ambulance industry, she then returned to the airline sector with TUI Airways.

Natalie will assume leadership for all operational and service delivery areas including the pilot, cabin crew and airport workforce groups across Loganair. She will also be responsible for ground handling, safety, security, and compliance, as well as for the network operations teams. She will additionally lead industrial relations across the front-line areas.

Luke Farajallah, CEO, Loganair, said: “We are extremely happy to have been able to attract one of the most talented rising stars of the aviation sector, whose career is going from strength to strength, to the UK’s largest regional airline. Natalie makes a huge impact wherever she goes, and she thoroughly deserves this hugely important and exciting leadership opportunity at Loganair. We are looking forward to her arrival later this year.”
