The UK regional carrier’s new £300,000 training initiative – which comes as part of its recently launched "Flying’s For All" strategy – will begin next month.

Employees will spend around three hours away from the business learning about protected characteristics, examining cases and rehearsing real life scenarios.
 
The training will be delivered in person by the airline’s HR team at the company’s head office in Glasgow and across its network to ensure every individual has a chance to complete the course.

New recruits to the business will receive the training as part of their induction and an advanced version of it will be introduced in 2024, once all employees have completed the initial course.

Lyndsay Kennedy, head of HR for Loganair, said: "We operate in an industry where almost all of our training is mandated for obvious safety reasons, but our EDI training will go beyond the flight deck and be available to all. 
 
"We are absolutely committed to developing and nurturing our employees and helping them to achieve their career goals, regardless of their background, gender or orientation."
