New Southern Connections from Manchester

Luke Lovegrove, Loganair’s Chief Commercial Officer, expressed enthusiasm about the launch. “We’re thrilled to introduce these routes from Manchester,” he said.

“This move underscores our dedication to connecting regions across the UK. The strong initial demand is encouraging, and we’re excited to provide reliable, customer-focused service to even more travellers.”

Stephen Turner, Chief Commercial Officer at Manchester Airport, added further comment. “These new routes make it easier for people in the North to reach the South Coast and South West,” he noted.

“They also open up Manchester’s global network of over 200 destinations to passengers from Exeter and Southampton, benefiting both business and leisure travellers.”

The new services provide a faster alternative to lengthy train journeys, with one-way fares starting at just £72.

Passengers can enjoy Loganair’s generous baggage policy, including 15kg of hold luggage and 6kg of cabin baggage, alongside family-friendly policies and top-tier customer service.
Loganair: Passenger Satisfaction and Punctuality

This commitment to passenger satisfaction has earned Loganair accolades, including a second-place ranking in the Which? annual short-haul airline survey for 2025, with a 72% customer score.

The airline also secured a five-star rating for customer service and four stars for booking, boarding, and cleanliness.

Loganair’s punctuality further sets it apart. In Q2 2025, the UK Civil Aviation Authority named it the most punctual UK airline, with 86% of flights arriving and departing on time. This reliability makes Loganair a trusted choice for travellers.

Additionally, passengers booking through Loganair’s website can earn Avios points via the airline’s loyalty program, thanks to its partnership with a global travel rewards scheme. This perk adds extra value for frequent flyers.

With these new routes, Loganair strengthens its role as a key player in regional air travel, offering convenience, reliability, and excellent service to passengers across the UK.
