The regional airline announced on Thursday (1 June) that long-haul services will take off from both Dublin and Manchester, allowing Loganair customers flying from Scotland to have better access to North America.
According to the carrier’s chief executive, Jonathan Hinkles, the new routes will also allow passengers flying from Dublin to clear customs in Ireland, entering the US “with the comfort of knowing they can start their vacation as soon as they land stateside”.
The partnership will also lead to more UK-Ireland connectivity as well as increased services from the Isle of Man and Newquay through Manchester.
The agreement comes as part of Loganair’s summer expansion, which includes the restart of Donegal-Glasgow services from 1 July as well as the switch of its Derry and Dundee routes from Heathrow.
Aer Lingus has also recently announced it will operate its largest-ever North America programme, with 2.5 million seats on sale across 19 routes.
