The contract will utilise Loganair’s fleet of ATR-42 aircraft, to provide safe, reliable air connectivity of bp offshore workers.

Loganair has extensive experience delivering fixed-wing aviation services for energy sector partners and this new contract with bp underlines its long-term commitment to both island connectivity and to the crucial oil & gas industry.

Luke Farajallah, Chief Executive Officer at Loganair, said: “We would like to thank the bp team for choosing Loganair as its airline partner for the delivery of these flights. We are extremely proud to be extending our products and services to this key customer. 

"We understand very well the relevance and importance of the energy sector in Scotland. These are essential flights and we will deliver them with the safety, reliability and punctuality Loganair customers have become used to experiencing across the UK and Europe.”

Loganair continues to expand its network, recently adding routes to Jersey following the collapse of Blue Islands.

This year, Loganair launched its 10th regional base in Southampton and was named the most punctual airline of 2025 by the UK Civil Aviation Authority (CAA).
