Loganair adds Southampton and Exeter flights from Manchester Airport

Regional airline, Loganair, has announced it will add new flights to both Southampton and Exeter from Manchester Airport.

The new route to Southampton will operate three times daily from 26th October, with daily flights to Exeter also beginning on the same day. The new routes will also benefit from partnerships between Loganair and a number of the other airlines that will see those travelling from the two cities on the South Coast benefit from smoother onward connections to global destinations reachable from Manchester Airport.

The newly launched routes offer customers the benefits of single ticket and through checked luggage thanks to Loganair’s partnerships with major airlines such as Emirates, Qatar Airways, Turkish Airlines, Singapore Airlines and Aer Lingus.

Luke Farajallah, chief executive officer at Loganair, said:

“The addition of the Manchester to Southampton and Manchester to Exeter routes to Loganair’s extensive network across the UK and beyond further enhances connectivity for leisure and business travellers, supporting our regional economies and allowing customers to travel even further afield with our partner airlines.

“We are committed to providing quality, accessible and reliable air travel for communities across the country and are pleased to further connect the people of Manchester with leisure and business hubs across the UK.”

In addition to strengthening its regional flight offerings, Loganair is bolstering its growth ambitions with a new base located at Southampton, allowing the airline to efficiently serve southern communities.

Jonathan Keenan-O’Connor, Head of Aviation at Manchester Airport, said:

“We’re proud to connect people in the North to the places they want to get to, and that includes other parts of the UK. It’s fantastic that the South Coast and Southwest regions will now be within easy reach for business and leisure travel from Manchester, and Loganair’s new services also give travellers in those regions access to Manchester’s network of more than 200 destinations across the globe.”

Loganair was recently named by Which? as one of the UK’s top airlines. Loganair was awarded a five-star rating for its customer service.
