Loganair could delay relaunching some of the former Flybe routes it picked up following the regional carrier’s collapse last week owing to the coronavirus, boss Jonathan Hinkles has said.

Loganair plans to resume international flights for summer 2022 as it rebuilds its schedule

On Thursday (12 March), Loganair confirmed it would reduce its March, April and May flight schedules due to coronavirus, with forward bookings down 15-20% since the outbreak developed in the UK.


“We have seen a marked drop in forward bookings in recent days as the effects of the coronavirus on the travelling public’s confidence has worsened,” said chief executive Hinkles.


“The trend is visible throughout the Loganair network, and there are no signs of the hoped-for ‘staycation’ effect, with people remaining in the UK for future planned holidays instead of travelling overseas.”
