Loganair to End Dundee-Heathrow Service
Loganair has announced that its flight service between Dundee and London Heathrow will conclude in September.
The route currently operates twice daily on weekdays and once on Sundays.
This service has been maintained under a public service obligation (PSO) since 2014, with funding support from Dundee City Council, the Scottish Government, and the UK Government to ensure connectivity between Dundee and London.
Commitment to Dundee Base and Network Review
Loganair stated its ongoing commitment to its Dundee base and is exploring alternative London airport options.
In addition to the Dundee-Heathrow route, the airline also runs flights from Dundee Airport to Orkney and Shetland.
A Loganair spokesperson commented on the situation, highlighting a review of their network and route viability:
"We can confirm we have given notice to Dundee City Council and all other interested parties in relation to the Dundee to London Heathrow public service obligation service, and it is our intention to withdraw from this route later this year following a review of the operation.
Our teams within the Dundee base have been kept proactively informed throughout this process, and we remain fully committed to both our colleagues and the communities we serve."
Response from Dundee City Council
A spokesperson for Dundee City Council confirmed receipt of the notification from Loganair and outlined ongoing discussions:
"We have received notification from Loganair.
The council is in discussions with the airline, as well as other partners supplying funding to the public service obligation for the route between Dundee and London.
The service will operate as normal until 18 September."
