Loganair has marked a milestone this week as services between Glasgow and Donegal were restored as part of the airline’s summer timetable. The thrice-weekly flights, operating on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays throughout July, August, and September, will boost connectivity between the UK and Ireland and provide the only direct air link between the UK and Donegal.
Commenting on the new service, the Chief Commercial Officer of Loganair, Luke Lovegrove said, ”It’s great to see Loganair’s tartan tails back at Donegal this summer, and today marks the first of the new weekday flights that we added after customer feedback. Our new service is operated by the larger and quieter ATR-42, enhancing our customer experience on this route. The beauty of Donegal is breathtaking, and if you haven’t yet climbed Errigal, I would strongly advise you to do so and take in the majesty of the surrounding landscape.”
Also commenting was the Managing Director at Donegal Airport, Eilis Docherty who added, “The management and staff at Donegal Airport are delighted to welcome Loganair back to Donegal Airport for Summer 2023. We are encouraged by the high level of bookings to date, which is an affirmation of the ongoing demand for a direct route between Donegal and Scotland. The introduction of the ATR42-600 series aircraft will provide additional capacity to grow passenger numbers over the busy summer season.”
