Friday, July 12, 2024 Loganair, the largest regional airline in the UK, recently marked a significant milestone by carrying 1.5 million passengers through Glasgow Airport. To commemorate this achievement, the airline delighted the Lee family with complimentary flights.
The Lee family, consisting of mum Laura, dad Stan, and their 3-year-old son Iver, an avid airplane enthusiast, were on their way home to Benbecula. They had been in Glasgow after celebrating both Laura’s and Iver’s birthdays with relatives in Lincolnshire. As Glasgow Airport serves as a central hub for Loganair, the airline plays a crucial role in connecting Scotland’s largest city to some of the country’s most remote destinations, including Barra, Benbecula, Stornoway, and Tiree.
Additionally, Loganair provides year-round service to Northern Ireland, linking Glasgow to Derry and Donegal. Laura said: “It was such a surprise to be the winners of the free tickets today – what a lovely birthday gift for Iver and me. “We fly a few times a year to see our family in Lincolnshire, so we might use the tickets to spend more quality time with our family.
However, since we moved to Benbecula two years ago, we’ve also wanted to explore the other Scottish islands, so maybe we’ll take a family holiday instead.” Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said: “We are thrilled to celebrate this significant milestone with the Lee family. 1.
5 million Loganair customers have now travelled through Glasgow Airport since 2017. Our flights from Glasgow to the Scottish Islands offer vital connections between many rural locations and Scotland’s largest city, which we are proud to call our home. “It was wonderful to meet with the Lee family who are regular flyers with Loganair and we thank them for their continued support.
We hope that little Iver will grow up to become a future Loganair pilot!” Mark Beveridge, managing director at Glasgow Airport, said: “Our airport and Loganair have been working together for many years now and I’m delighted to extend our congratulations for the 1.5 million customer milestone. “The relationship between ourselves and Loganair has gone from strength to strength, and we are proud to partner with them in facilitating seamless travel experiences for our passengers.
“We look forward to continued success together in the years ahead.” Loganair operates daily flights between Glasgow and Benbecula, enhancing connectivity for both business and leisure travelers. This route is served by Loganair’s latest ATR turboprop fleet, renowned for being one of the most environmentally efficient regional aircraft.
