The Glasgow-based company stopped flying under the Flybe brand in August 2017 and is now billing itself as “Scotland’s Airline”.

Loganair said its finances would be affected by a series of one-off costs following the end of the Flybe agreement, including rebranding, creating a new reservations system and bookable website, plus a contact centre at Glasgow airport.

The warning came as Loganair revealed that its pre-tax profit for the pervious financial year dropped by 11% to £3 million for the 12 months ending on March 31, 2017.

This fall in profit came despite an 8% increase in turnover to £103 million as passenger numbers rose by 8.6% to 765,000 during the 2016-17 financial year.
