Loganair has confirmed it will be launching two new routes connecting the Isle of Man with London, marking a major step forward for the Isle of Man’s post-pandemic air connectivity.

The regional airline will start a service to London City Airport every day of the week except Saturdays, from the 19th April. From 3rd May
Loganair will increase the service to twice each weekday with a morning and evening flight allowing for day-returns in each direction.   

From Tuesday 3rd May Loganair will start its new Isle of Man - London Heathrow service with a daily service designed to offer excellent connections with partner airlines including British Airways. 

The new services will be flown by Loganair’s Isle of Man-based team of pilots, cabin crew and engineers.   The airline now has over 30 staff based at Ronaldsway who also support existing Loganair routes to Liverpool, Manchester, Birmingham and Edinburgh.

Further Isle of Man-based pilots and cabin crew have joined Loganair this week – many formerly employed by Flybe and Stobart Air before the collapse of both airlines – to commence their training onto the 72-seat ATR72-600 aircraft deployed by Loganair on its IOM routes.  These are the most environmentally efficient regional aircraft, combining best-in-class fuel burn and carbon emissions performance with excellent onboard comfort levels for customers.    

Dr Alex Allinson MHK, Minister for the Isle of Man Department for Enterprise said:  ‘We are very pleased to be working with Loganair on these two new London routes to City and Heathrow. As an international business centre, we rely on good connections to the UK and further afield to give our business community access to clients around the world. Having a day return flight will be a real asset for both Isle of Man and London-based businesses."

London City’s Chief Commercial Officer Richard Hill said: "We are delighted to be welcoming back a regular service between London City and the Isle of Man with Loganair. Regional connectivity, and regular, reliable connections to the heart of London has never been more important, and we look forward to working with partners to both promote the service to businesses and to passengers who are planning their next staycation."

Set in the Irish Sea, at a midway point between England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, the Isle of Man is a beautiful, welcoming, entertaining place. It offers visitors attractions galore including glorious coastal scenery, historic castles, 26 stellar Dark-Parks, Dhoon Glen where a waterfall plummets 120 feet,  The world’s biggest working waterwheel at 72 feet high, The Motor Museum and of course the world-famous TT motorbike races.

IOM features 100 miles of coastline with beaches and cliffscapes to explore,  or boat trips to find seals and whales.  Coming soon there is the Beer & Cider Festival and later in the year, there are a number of agricultural shows and events.
