Loganair takes flight at new south coast airport base

It becomes the airline’s 10th base.

Loganair already flies to Southampton from Edinburgh, Manchester and Newcastle

The new south coast base will have two based aircraft by March 2026 when it ‘progressively scales up to full operations.’

“The start of operations at our Southampton base represents an important step in strengthening the resilience of our network and ensuring reliable air links for the south coast,” said Ronnie Matheson, chief commercial officer at Loganair.

“Establishing a permanent base in Southampton allows us to better support an area of the country that is often overlooked.”

As well as Manchester and Edinburgh, there is a weekly flight via Manchester to the Isle of Man.

“The addition of routes such as Manchester, which started in October, reconnected vital economic corridors and, through Loganair’s extensive interline partnerships, provides even greater global connectivity for our customers,” added Chris Tibbett, aviation director at AGS Airports.
