UK regional airline, Loganair, has announced the launch of two new routes from Manchester Airport, to Exeter and Southampton.
The inaugural flights mark a significant milestone in the airline’s expansion strategy and coincide with its move to Manchester Airport’s newly upgraded Terminal 2, which is set to double in size, providing more seating, space for passengers, and restaurant facilities.
Luke Lovegrove, chief commercial officer at Loganair, said:
“Launching these new routes from Manchester is a proud moment for our team and reflects our commitment to enhancing regional connectivity.
“We’re encouraged by the early demand and look forward to serving more customers across the UK with our reliable and customer-focused service.”
The new services offer a convenient alternative to long rail journeys for those travelling from the North West to the South and South West of England. Passengers will benefit from Loganair’s generous luggage allowance of 15kg hold luggage and 6kg cabin baggage for those heading further afield from Manchester.
Stephen Turner, Chief Commercial Officer at Manchester Airport, said:
“We’re proud to connect people in the North to the places they want to get to, including other parts of the UK. It’s fantastic that the South Coast and South West will now be within easy reach for business and leisure travellers from Manchester, and Loganair’s new services also give people in those regions access to Manchester’s global route network of more than 200 destinations.”
